The Geeks Come Out at Night: IT Professionals Live It Up

Chicago-land Hi-Tech community come together to defragment our community and put an end to the tireless Silicon Valley comparisons

Chicago area Community Technology leaders work tirelessly to bring technology to their communities. As a result of these efforts, corporate relationships are supporting community organizations, like i.c.stars to develop training programs to ensure and promote technology careers and economic development, and bridging the digital divide!
