The Countdown Show continues, with Episode 13! Alex Bradley joins Rick and Joey to cover the details of the Ignite Attendee Celebration and the online broadcast experience. They fill you in on what to expect as well as give you some helpful tips. See a special video message from a member of one Chicago's own GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum selling rock bands that will perform at the celebration.

Attendee Celebration
6:30 P.M.–10:30 P.M.
Lakeside Center, McCormick Place
It'll be an evening to remember... with a major headliner, incredible Chicago cuisine and craft beer, plus local music on the terrace. With a convenient location, right in Lakeside Center at McCormick Place, you can head straight to the party after sessions end on Thursday.

Food and Beverage
Chicago is a foodie town and we're bringing in 30 local Chicago restaurants to serve you complimentary samples of their best local cuisine. A must-stop is the Goose Island beer garden. Touted as one of the Midwest's largest craft breweries, Goose Island will provide a variety of their latest craft beer. Beer reps, beer geeks, and even a few certified Cicerones (the sommeliers of beer) will be on hand to answer questions.

Entertainment
Head outside to the East Fountain Terrace, for a laid back atmosphere that's perfect for networking. Featuring food trucks, a beer truck, a cool local band, and a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan.

Continue into Hall D where you'll find music, activities, and entertainment at every turn. Experience a sampling of Chicago's popular neighborhoods as you walk around discovering all the cool stuff to see and do. At 9:00 P.M., head to the main stage for the concert. Viewing is available throughout the hall. No professional cameras or audio equipment are permitted during the concert.
