DigitalEve Chicago was founded to share wisdom, resources and technology to help members advance in their careers. The group is so new, founded in January, that it hasn't elected an executive board yet. A group of about 40 key members is working to develop and launch the organization's services. About eight members of that group have taken unofficial leadership roles to act as coordinators until the membership can elect a leadership board. DigitalEve Chicago launched prior to Comdex Chicago, April 2-4 at McCormick Place.
Membership is free.
To get the organization running by the April deadline, the core group members met in a series of marathon organizing sessions on weekends in February and March. Most of that work has been behind the scenes. Shelke runs a management consulting firm called Corvis Blue that helps large organizations manage change. New organization has many chapters The DigitalEve international headquarters is in Seattle. The group already has 10 chapters in the United States, with another nine in Canada and the United Kingdom.
