Joomla Chicago are getting ready to host a very large Joomla Event that should prove to be a valuable resource for Joomla users. The lineup of presenters looks like a who's who of Joomla third party dev's, specialising in template development, seo, Joomla optimisation and more.

A quick check of the site reveals that places at the expo are down to 10 left ... if you feel like making the trek best to head over there fast.

Here is the spiele from the site:
