We’re exhibiting Keepon at this year’s WIRED NextFest in Chicago’s Millennium Park just next to the big shiny bean. Slightly different than last year’s format, this year’s event lasts two weeks (September 27-October 12) and is free and open to the public every day from 11am-7pm (except Thursdays, when the hours are 12pm-8pm, and Mondays, when it’s closed).
UPDATE: We’d like to thank the over 70,000 visitors for coming to check out NextFest!
Keepon was mentioned in the Chicago Tribune, a report by Somewhat Frank, and The Windy Citizen.
Keepon appears in tonight’s robot-themed episode of The Works, a show hosted by Keepon’s friend Dan Wilson. Set your DVRs to September 25, 8pm EST.
