I had the opportunity to attend TECHSPO Chicago 2025 on May 12th and 13th. The event was filled with networking, training sessions, and innovations taking place in the iconic Windy City.
Once you experience the city for yourself—its architecture and vibrant, bustling lifestyle—it’s no surprise that it’s a hub for tech and creative thinkers.
“Where Business, Tech, and Innovation Collide” was more than a tagline—it was the spirit of the event.
Held at Soldier Field, TECHSPO Chicago brought together visionaries looking to grow their businesses, get their services noticed, and amplify their messages to help change the city—and the world—for the better.
There were educators, students, investors, senior marketers and branders, digital executives and professionals, web and mobile application developers, strategists, designers and web project managers, business leaders, business developers, thought leaders, and other professionals all in one place.
I attended training sessions with other like-minded individuals, diving into topics like AI, marketing direction, Google traffic, content audit tools, and large language models (LLMs).
Keynote speakers stepped up to the mic, offering clear direction on bringing ideas into the mainstream. Their talks unpacked the latest trends in digital strategy, advertising innovation, and content optimization.
From SDR devices and commerce services to architecture, UX design, and motion graphics, ingenious solutions were front and center throughout the hall. The room buzzed with opportunity and fresh ideas.
Innovation & Tech Today is excited to continue fostering new connections in the Windy City and spotlighting Chicago in our upcoming fall issue 9.6.
TECHSPO Chicago proved to our team that this city is home to visionary tech leaders and world-changing ideas that can’t be ignored. Beyond the event, Chicago offers experiences and opportunities at the forefront of tech, STEM, and sustainability.
I’m thrilled to further explore the city’s novelty and write about my experiences. Several organizations, including The Art Institute of Chicago, Skydeck, Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, and Shoreline Sightseeing reached out to offer me press passes, giving me the opportunity to explore and share my experiences firsthand.
The feature will also include exclusive interviews with key individuals leading the charge at these institutions.
Stay tuned for more!
