I just don't like any liars advertising the non-existing systems just
to attract a crowd of newbies and make money from their innocence
Let us all know when you find some cheese to go with that whine of yours.
  • Liars advertising non-existent systems is the last thing you'll see in Chicago.
  • This isn't an event where the organizers/speakers/etc make a penny
  • Everyone volunteers their time
  • After expenses are covered money goes to charity
  • We've been doing this for eight years, and people keep coming back - so something about it works
  • We're not trying to attract a crowd of newbies and never have - the event is an ice-breaker for many to break out of their shell and come to see folks that have a similar set of interests. Sure we don't cover some of the more advanced things that you'll see elsewhere, but let us be honest, how many people actually can leverage that stuff.
  • If you don't have any feedback/comments/discussion points related to the Chicago Seminars, please move on.

Happy Friday everyone!
