Building upon what happened last year:

SocialDevCamp Chicago 2009 had over 300 attendees registered (we estimate around 250 in attendance) and attracted keynote speakers David Recordon (@daveman692) and Luke Shepard (@lukeshepard) of Facebook as well as Jason Gessner and Don Schwarz of Google. One Hackathon team turned their new idea into WinkVid, a company offering video speed dating services online which was the recent recipient of a ScaleWell grant.
