Now At G-FEST 2024

What seemed like a longer flight than three hours, I made it to Rosemont (outside of Chicago) for this year's G-FEST.

The convention moved to the Hyatt Regency O'Hare out of necessity. It simply outgrew the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

The Hyatt, as one might expect, is a lot more luxurious with prices to match. Since G-FEST is only once a year, I'm not complaining. I saw few people I recognized.

I am up early as I went to bed early, plus my inner clock is out of whack.

G-FEST officially starts today. The Dealers Room will open at 10:00 this morning.
