BIGfrontier: A brief history BIGfrontier started life in 2000 as a rollicking technology party, our first event at Drink nightclub drew 1000 attendees and was sponsored by the likes of IBM and Inforte. Our event archives provide a walk through the wild west days of Chicago burgeoning technology scene, 2000-2003. Over the years we have hosted panels with some of the MIdwest's most important technology leaders, business reporters and pundits. In 2003 we introduced the breakfast series, which is focused exclusively on presenting leading authors in exclusive Chicago appearances. Speakers/guests have included Gian Fulgoni, Chairman, ComScore networks, Robert Herbold, former COO of Microsoft, Economist Lester Thurow and Joel Kurtzman, former New York Times Op Ed page editor. Our events have won multiple national accolades including the Tower and League of Professional Communicators award and has been cited as the best networking event in Chicago by Chicago Magazine and one of the premier event organizations in the United States in a 2005 Churchill Trust Study (see press section).   In 2002 Comcast networks produced a half hour special entitled BIGfrontier After Dark to capture the zeitgeist of the post bubble Chicago technology scene. We also publish the Midnight Missive, Chicago's source for unique commentary, interviews and insightful satire.
