WordCamp Chicago was a sold out show. Many kudos to organizers Lisa Sabin-Wilson and Brian Gardner for putting on such a great event. The closing session from WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg was worth the price of admission alone.

At right is a pic from Lisa Sabin-Wilson’s Flickr photostream of my presentation. Jacob Santos also recorded the session and posted it to Daily Motion.
