Oh what a night! Congratulations to TECH cocktail founders Frank Gruber and Eric Olson who were honored last night (April 3, 2008) with the 2008 Chicago cityLIGHTS Award, given to individuals who have made a significant impact on the Illinois technology community. At the annual Illinois Technology Association's black-tie gala at Union Station in Chicago, seven hundred fifty guests applauded as stunned Frank and Eric made their way to the stage to humbly accept their award.And they deserved it. For the past two years TECH cocktail has been true to their mission: help amplify the technology signal in under served markets and have fun doing it. They have provided a relaxing venue to help start-up companies demonstrate their innovative ideas to others in the technology field at several community mixers in Chicago, Boston, Boulder and DC. Always willing to help others, Frank (of somewhat frank) and Eric (of olsonsobservations) are the true LIGHT in technology not only in C
hicago, but in Illinois. With the success of TECH cocktail, Frank and Eric will sponsor the first TECH cocktail CONFERENCE on Thursday, May 29 at Loyola University, Water Tower Campus, followed by TECH cocktail Chicago 8 at John Barleycorn that evening. Congratulations to Frank and Eric. Your mothers would be proud. The one on the right sure is.
