    Milwaukee/Chicago area meetup interest?

    I'm a developer in Milwaukee, WI and was curious to see if there are other developers in this area (Milwaukee/Chicago) that would be interested in a meetup or collaboration?

    The closer to me the better. 

    I would consider a Chicago area meet-up.

    Very cool! I have not given a location too much thought, other than the greater Chicago/Milwaukee area, wanted to see if there was interest. 

    There are 2 other guys here at work that would attend as well.  If we gather up a couple more guys, I would say lets meet up somewhere in middle at a pub with a good meeting space. I can research that if no one knows of a good spot. If its under 10-12 people, I can always host a meetup here at my work in downtown Milwaukee, if you are interested in coming up this way, so that is an option too.

    If we think we can get a larger attendance, Chicago might be the better option, and have a smaller first meetup, and discuss having a larger Chicago meetup then.

    Let me know your thoughts

    I work with timgrove and would also attend. You know what they say about getting a bunch of Umbraco developers together... Yeah, me neither, but I think it would be a good time.

    Chad, i can tell you what they say about getting a bunch of umbraco devs together...

    tell the bar to stock up and don't plan on getting any sleep -- 3 years of codegarden experience has proven that!

    looking forward to meeting some other midwestern umbraco devs :)

    hey gang... let's try to get a good turnout for cmsExpo in may... umbraco is hosting a FREE event May 2nd at 8pm -- checkout the meetup i created today for more details... or just look here...

     

    The meetup is Monday night, May 2, 8:00-9:30 pm at the Hotel Orrington. This meetup is open to the public and is free. It is a great chance for the attendees of the conference (from all over the world) to mingle with the local users. One of the founders/partners of Umbraco will present a 20-40 min “Roadmap” of where Umbraco is and where it is going in the next year. The rest of the time is social, networking, Q&A, etc.

     

    To see the general schedule and an overview of the conference please visit our site: www.CMSExpo.net

    I will be at the Umbraco Meetup for sure! Thanks for the tip! 

    In the meantime, I'm going to try and scrounge up enough for the event itself.

    Looking forward to meeting the Umbraco community in the Chicago area!

    Wednesday would make the most sense for us to attend the Expo, so we were considering going down for that day rather than Monday night. Would anyone be attending that day to meetup?

    Chad, are you guys actually going to attend the expo that day? like the sessions, etc.?

    just wondering.

    Yeah, that's what we are looking into. Then we were wondering if anyone else in this conversation were planning on attending so we could meetup on Wednesday instead. That seems to be the most Umbraco-heavy day.

    yeah, you are right... which is odd that the planned event isn't tied to that... hmmmmm....

    i could be convinced to stroll into town on both days :)

    Look like timgrove, another developer here, and I will all be attending the CMS Expo on Wednesday May 4th. Hopefully we can meet some local developers as well. We can have a mini impromptu Umbraco gathering that evening...

    Hi guys

    I know this is an old thread but I've set up a meetup group for Chicago if anyone's interested.

    http://www.meetup.com/umbChicago/

    Hope to see you all there sometime soon.
