BIGfrontier was founded in April 2000 as the Midwest's premier producer of business and technology events and newsletters, providing a forum for nationally known authors and thought leaders. We provide an unparalleled networking opportunity to meet with entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, scientists, service providers and the press. Our events have won multiple national accolades including the Tower and League of Professional Communicators award and has been cited as the best networking event in Chicago by Chicago Magazine and one of the premier event organizations in the United States in a 2005 Churchill Trust Study. In 2002 Comcast networks produced a half hour special entitled BIGfrontier After Dark to capture the zeitgeist of the post bubble Chicago technology scene. Speakers/guests have included Gian Fulgoni, Chairman, ComScore networks, Robert Herbold, former COO of Microsoft, Economist Lester Thurow and Joel Kurtzman, former New York Times Op Ed page editor as well as a host of reporters, authors and Midwest entrepreneurs.
