The "Riverwalk." continued into the year 2000 picking up imitators. The "Riverwalk" presentations are not working groups, as some of the original participants may recall from our meetings in 1995 through 1997. However, CECI will return to a working group in 2001 and resume its activities as a vendor neutral group. "Riverwalk" meetings are held at several CECI participants' facilities.
Despite the term, "Riverwalk," visits are not restricted to any particular geographic area. To request a scheduled time to host or speak at a CECI meeting, send an e-mail to tarkus@ripco.com and leave your preferred contact information. If you wish to be added to or removed from the participant's list, send an e-mail to tarkus@ripco.com
CECI took a hiatus over he summer months, but several companies invited CECI participants to events that were of interest. CECI and NON CECI events are posted in the Riverwalk schedule with links to the presenters (in case you were not able to attend the actual event).
Background:
In the January 1998 meeting, the Chicagoland Electronic Commerce Initiative discussed the concept of a "Riverwalk." The concept of a Riverwalk. Several participants had high-tech facilities in the loop or near the river. The notion of the Riverwalk was to visit the facilities of some of Chicago's high-tech resources. However, the difficulties of visiting several facilities on a single day and the logistics of getting people from place to place inspired a slightly different concept (in 2000, I think the City of Chicago tried to do this with trolleys).
The Chicagoland Electronic Commerce Initiative has held "Riverwalk" meetings at several different high-tech locations (the calendar from previous years appears below). The topics of discussion are usually related to the host's line of business. In most cases, the host (at the host's option) has allowed attendees to tour their facilities.
With the March 1999 meeting at the Chicago Bar Association (CBA), we entered the second year of "Riverwalks." More participants have opened their doors (and, some, their new offices) as we continue our exploration of carriers, Internet Service Providers, software corporations and other commerce specialists.
2001:
CECI will return to a working group at the end of the Riverwalk. In the meantime, CECI also crossposts items of interest from several other Chicago organizations. We have jointly hosted meetings at the Chicago Bar Association. Henry Meier, of the CBA Technology Committee often provides advance notices of his meetings and other CBA and legal items of interest to CECI.
