There are two great happenings back to back in John's hometown, Chicago,IL in November. The 17th Annual Exposition of Sculpture Objects & Functional Art (SOFA) is a gallery-presented, international art exposition dedicated to bridging the worlds of design, decorative and fine art. Works by emerging and established artists and designers are available for sale by premier galleries and dealers. This event will be held in Chicago at the Festival Hall, Navy Pier November 5-7, 2010. |

Another great event, the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo 2010 will be held on November 17-19, 2010 in Chicago's McCormick Place West . As one of the first cities to adopt LEED for public buildings and the city that is home to more LEED-certified buildings than any other, Chicago is truly committed to leadership as a "next-generation" city – the perfect place for us to celebrate being part of Generation Green. It's a chance to go and learn how green can grow your business, to get up to date with the latest in innovative products and services and to see what the future looks like in cities and towns around the world. Greenbuild is a perfect opportunity to meet with green-building colleagues, network with leading industry professionals and learn from international representatives from around the world.
If you're traveling from out of the area, book a room at Chicago's first boutique hotel designed to meet Silver LEED certification. Hotel Felix is where we will be staying and I am sure we will find an enriching experience there for both luxury and environment alike.
"Felix" is defined as "happy," and who wouldn't be happy in one of the "whisper-quiet" rooms with plush furnishings. A rejuvenating spa, chic lobby lounge serving contemporary beverages and Chicago-style fine dining at Elate--all are within steps of your door.
