Drinks! Dinner! Dancing! Bottle Service! Yes, It’s An Ad Conference!
Last night after the first day of the ad:tech Chicago conference ended, UnsubCentral’s John Engler organized a dinner at the Chop House for about 16 people including Powered COO Mark Drosos, Direct Response Technologies’ Matt Haag, Frontline Direct Sales Manager Barbara Stratte and Marketing Director Cari McClure, Adconion Media Group VP Kristian Wilson and Account Manager Alexis Berger, Spiderbait Strategist Dante Montverde and StoryQuest’s Tim Keelan among others.
Also enjoying some of Chicago’s finest beef were Adrants’ Co-Editor Angela Natividad and the ad:tech blogging team Paige Dzenis, Brent Terrazas and Krista Neher.
Like any dinner with 16 people across two tables in a loud restaurant, the discussion varied widely from work topics to wine selection. None of which, sadly, can be currently called to mind. The food was amazing. The wine was great and the people excellent company.

Contact to get in on the action.
