We just got a new bike rack for the office. Several of us commute via two wheels as often as the unpredictable Chicago weather will allow and while Andersonville is a safe neighborhood locking our bikes to a parking meter on the street probably isn’t the most secure option.

Bridgeline Digital, the host of the Content Revolution Tour, invited people to join Content Marketing Experts Ann Handley (Chief Content Officer at MarketingProfs) and Becki Dilworth (Vice President of Digital Strategy at Bridgeline Digital) for a one-hour breakfast strategy jam session.

Increasing sustainability through the magical power of worms, Stephanie Davies and Amber Gribben of Urban Worm Girl are helping people get smart about the environment one compost bin at a time.

Urban Worm Girl’s mission: to educate the community on composting with worms (also known as vermiculture). Worm superhero Stephanie came to Mightybytes yesterday and set us up with a sweet in-office composting system that will take care of our coffee grounds, banana peels, leftover scones, avocados, and even some paper waste like cardboard, egg crates, and newspaper.

There were information sessions, talks, code sprints, events, excellent keynotes every day by industry leaders, and even a fashion show. Read on to discover what we took away from this great event.
