This year, the traditional X-Cart Beer Meeting in Chicago is scheduled for 12th of June. Unlike to previous meetings, which took place on Friday, this time we decided to meet on Thursday. Another change is that instead of “The Bedfort” which, to quote Jeremy aka carpeperdiem, is on the “we’re loud and proud” side, we were advised to use a quieter place. And it’s a sound idea – our main purpose is to meet and talk, to listen to and hear each other. The “Rock Bottom” resraurant promises to be a more suitable place, so it has been booked for the upcoming event.

X-Cart team, developers and merchants will be there

Should I go? What if I don’t drink beer?

Me either. And Carrie Sauders. And Shafiq Khan. 5 o’clock tea then?

It’s okay, X-Cart Beer meeting is not a thirst-quench session. First of all, it’ s “X-Cart” and “meeting” – an annual meeting of X-Cart friends – merchants, developers, designers – who make business acquaintances, share and discuss their ideas and concerns, talk face to face, give and receive invaluable feedback, help us to understand their needs and thus make the platform better.

Well, and it’s “Beer” too, if you with=)

You may also want to check the discussions on the forum: impressions about the previous beer-meeting and expectations for the upcoming one.

Please remind me when and where do we meet?

“Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery” 1 W Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60654

Thursday, June 12, 2014 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM (CDT)

Registration required

There is $15 registration fee to avoid “out of curiosity” registrations that can prevent real goers from attending the event because of running out of space. I have already registered. Have you?
