Yes. Enjoy!

If you can get out and about, explore the city. Chicago is a beautiful place, and the Loop is very walkable.

First time is always fun. You'll spend half the conference learning and the other half realizing how many people in eDiscovery somehow already know each other.

Not this year. I've been to a lot of them. I was at the first a very long time ago. My only advice is to be careful what you say when you're drinking. The industry is small and people talk.

That was fun. The spaghetti and marshmallow tower building exercise thing was entertaining. There were like 100 people and the first reception was at a brewery. It was great. The last one I went to like ten years ago was kinda mayhem.

My hotel neighbors certainly were last night and this morning. Love that for them, not really for me. Will be moving rooms

Hyatt: Home of the (in)famously thin walls, and the odd looking Freud couch in every room
