aliceHortrex, if you don't want this ad cluttering up this thread, just send me a PM and I'll immediately remove it.
However, it might be worthwhile for anyone coming to Chicago for the Bitcoin Conference to know that if they stick around until July 24, there is an opportunity to use bitcoins to purchase tickets to the Beyoncé & Jay-Z concert at Soldier Field. This appears to be a collaboration between Coinbase, Blockchain.info, and GoldCoast Tickets.

Looking forward to this one!
Looks like a lot of great speakers.
Are people going to this? What kind of turn out is expected?

Registration is cheaper than some other Bitcoin events and Chicago is centrally located, which means easier travel for many Americans. I'd be surprised if less than 1,000 showed.
Looks like they'll have plenty of space for it: http://www.mccormickplace.com/floor-plans/south/south-building.php

The second North American Bitcoin Conference is coming to Chicago this summer. The much-anticipated event will draw thousands of Bitcoin entrepreneurs, businessmen, and tech-savvy developers to the Windy City on July 19-20.
Moe Levin, the organizer of the event, is anticipating an even larger draw in Chicago than the popular first NABC in Miami. Levin elaborated:
“Last conference was spectacular – we expected 750 people, but over 1200 people came. The biggest one yet in the states. Thankfully, we were able to scale it and open up extra rooms. We’re hoping to double that this time in Chicago.”
