In May the Joe U Photo team captured photo and video at an excellent two day conference for HINGE Early Education Advisors at Pendry Hotel in downtown Chicago.

On day one there was an outdoor welcome reception on Pendry’s incredible rooftop which overlooks downtown Chicago and has a great view of Marina Towers (aka the corncob buildings!)

Anytime I get to shoot an event where lots of the guests are from out of town I find myself with a fresh appreciation of the city, especially when a scenic rooftop view is involved.

During the welcome event we captured photos and video of some great moments with guests networking, reconnecting and meeting for the first time.

We also recorded video testimonials from several attendees about what makes the conference so special.

Day two was the conference itself which featured presentations, group activities, networking opportunities and of course lots of locally inspired food—a key element of any conference. I’ve taken so many photos of mini Chicago dogs that I’ve considered making a gallery dedicated entirely to them.

But until then check out some of the best moments as well as the final conference recap video!
