Jelly Chicago

What is Jelly Chicago?

Working at home has a lot of benefits, but social interaction is not one of them. Jelly is a biweekly gathering of freelancers, entrepreneurs, telecommuters and other professionals with flexible working arrangements. Anyone who wants to meet cool people, get some work done and have some fun is welcome.

Designers, developers, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, marketing folks... Jelly professionals are a varied bunch. Some people come once a month, some people are regulars.
