ClueCon networking events are legendary. Each activity offers an opportunity to chat with fellow attendees, speakers, and industry experts in a casual setting. Nightly activities are included in your conference admission.


Start ClueCon on a high note at our annual Welcome Dinner! We're hosting this year's gathering at Giordano's, home of Chicago's original deep dish pizza and a beloved city institution. Connect with industry peers while savoring layers of melted cheese, fresh ingredients, and perfectly crafted sauce in a buttery, flaky crust. Make lasting relationships over legendary pizza at this can't miss ClueCon tradition!

Step away from the deep technical sessions and join ClueCon's most beloved tradition, the Gigabit Reception.
Hosted at the Intercontinental Hotel, this signature evening is where the ClueCon community comes together. Whether you're continuing a technical discussion from earlier in the day or just taking a well earned break, the Gigabit Reception is where the community truly comes alive.
Enjoy some food and drinks, challenge fellow attendees to board games, dominate the racetrack in Mario Kart, or stumble into an impromptu guitar jam. Or just find a corner and talk shop with people who actually get it.

On Wednesday, August 11, ClueCon takes over the Museum of Ice Cream for a private two-hour celebration. The whole museum is ours for the night.
Spend the evening exploring 12+ interactive rooms with fellow attendees, with unlimited ice cream for every guest. Bring your phone; it's the photo everyone posts.
Talks, the Coder Games, and a different Chicago night out every evening.
