I was asked to present at this year's Progress Exchange.  This is our world-wide User's Conference.  It was held this year in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and it was my first time to the "Windy City" and I really enjoyed it.  (Try this link for more info)  Doing two presentations twice, meant a lot of preparation and presentation time, but there was still some time for sight-seeing.  The architecture is amazing!  I took lots of photos, but do not have the space to put them all up here.  The first three rows of photos were taken from a river/lake cruise, the first two were from the river and the third from Lake Michigan

It was amazing to drive in from the airport and see the places that the "Blues Brothers" was filmed in - Wacker Drive, the City Hall, etc...
