Venue? Check.

A lot of headway has already been made in planning The Momtrepreneur Exchange.

We have a venue.  A venue!  I’m thrilled about the place where we will hold our Exchange–at the Zhou B Art Center in Chicago.  This incredible space, founded by famed artists the Zhou Brothers, will accommodate everything that we want to do at this event and then some.  The history of the center alone is amazing–I could not be more excited to share the space with all of you.  If you could not tell, I’m a bit excited…now that the Exchange has a home, it is feels much more real than a mere that I’ve had thus far.

I’ve spoken with dozens of potential speakers, and everyone has had a very positive reaction to the conference, its purpose and participating in it.  I’ve connected with several local momtrepreneurs through The Momtrepreneur Meetup and will be coordinating with a few of them to help continue to develop the conference in early 2010.

It’s March.  The sponsorship hunt is on.  Cross your fingers.
