This event is at capacity. Here's complete details on remote participation: http://www.smartchicagocollaborative.org/opengovchicago-meetup-open-data-chicago-and-everyblock/.

As usual, this event will be livestreamed and we will have live meeting notes. If you have any questions for the speakers, put them here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cGnZMqbf-Zdj81g3-OrEhVBJTioPP9iSQTKaCsL9KjI/edit.

We hope to make remote participation as meaningful as in-person. There's no reason, especially for an event like this, that can't happen. The key is tuning in an adding notes and questions to our shared document.
