WIRED NextFest Chicago 2008
Today was a press day for WIRED NextFest in Chicago. It officially opens to the public tomorrow. If you are in the area and are considering checking it out, this preview might help convince you.
Sneak Peek One Day Before it Opens to the Public
Much more details about the exhibits will be posted on TreeHugger in the next few days days, but for now, here's a taste (this is part 1, stay tuned for more) of what NextFest will be like. Read on for many photos...
Be warned that not everything in this photo preview will be green. The more detailed articles in the next days will be about green stuff, but here I've thrown a bit of everything to give you a better idea of what to expect.
Even before you can get inside the big tent, there's stuff to see.
