A Special Thank You... 
 Chicago eLearning & Technology Showcase Logo 
The 3rd Annual Chicago eLearning & Technology Showcase took place on Wednesday, August 11, at the University Center in Chicago. Once again, Showcase organizers sold all available tickets to this event. That's right! The demand for this event has grown each year, much to the delight of the attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors who participate. Based on early feedback, we know that the event has had a positive impact on the eLearning community in Chicago and beyond.
 
STC Chicago would like to thank all who attended the Showcase in 2010. Our attendees, a dynamic and diverse group of eLearning and technology professionals, helped to make this year's effort a distinct success. And if you were one of the many volunteers who worked tirelessly to plan and execute the event, an extra special thanks to you!
