With work bogging me down, I wont be able to attend Conference. I just have too many projects that require me to be at the office and participate in meetings/conference calls. However since I live in Chicago, I would love to meet up with fellow Cheffers somehow. I live in the city and work downtown so meeting up would be easy for me. Also if anyone has questions about what to do/see in the city, I'd love to offer some suggestions and recommendations. In one of my groups I organize around town, I give out tours focused on various ethnic neighborhoods.
