I'm not sure exactly how we found the Alhambra Restaurant in Chicago, but it was a spectacular space in the warehouse district not to far from Oprah's Harpo Production facilities. And the discussion was as lively as the surroundings.
Todd Baxter, Chicago Magazine's Britney Blair, BBDO's Liz Miller-Gershfeld, Grip Design's Kevin McConkey (a total hoot!), Katrina Wittcamp and yours truly joined the panel discussion moderated by Grover which covered everything from Search Engine Optimization to promoting yourself to top-level art directors.
We had some great questions thrown out there by people like Picade's Michael Beasley, Controlled Vocabulary's David Riecks, and many others. We're pretty sure you'll like this one.

Thanks for an excellent discussion on today's venues of photography both advertising and editorial. It reminded me a great deal of the 1989 4th International Photography Congress held in Rockport, ME where photogs and buyers came together. AD Coleman, Mary Ellen Mark, Joyce Tennyson, Vickie Goldberg, Bill Allard, BBDO and many others had tremendously good information to give out.
Other gatherings were at Steamboat Springs, CO that were put together by Rich Clarkson, all with the purpose of helping photographers.
You are carrying on the torch.
