There has been a lot of discussion in recent days objecting to the City’s recent announcement that it will continue to enforce a long-standing tax on the use of certain streaming and cloud-based technologies.

1871 COO Tom Alexander chatted with Techweek CEO Katy Lynch about her new role, her plans for Techweek, and the Chicago tech scene ahead of Techweek 2015. Here's what we learned:

It is a billboard that hangs over Chicago promoting tech entrepreneurship. On a personal level, 1871 has helped me find my true calling and grow my business. I look forward to watching it mature.
