Potluck! (A Smorgasbord of Ideas): a select crop of Chicago’s finest muse for six-minutes each

a collaboration between Mac ‘n Cheese Productions and TeamPete

Interested in speaking at Potluck?  Check this out.

Potluck! (A Smorgasbord of Ideas) brings together several of Chicago’s best and brightest, funniest and handsomest, wittiest and engaging-est for an evening of rapid fire musings on whatever they choose to muse upon.  In the vein of Pecha KuchaIgnite, and TED Talks, each presenter talks about whatever he/she wants, for six-minutes.

No actual food involved.  A presenter’s take on the experience.

One of the most refreshing and intelligent evenings in Chicago. It’s unexpected, unvarnished and hilarious.  Lennie Rose, Big Ooga, CEO [audience member]

I had more than a blast. It was honor to meet so many great Chicagoans, it makes me proud to be a part of this city. Thanks for bringing me along for the ride.  Mig Reyes, 37signals [participant]
