SUMMARY:All in on Quantum: A Vision for the South Lakefront
DESCRIPTION:A first-of-its-kind Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park (IQMP) will soon touch down at the former U.S. Steel South Works site\, a 440-acre barren expanse at the end of the lakefront trail. Learn all about this generational investment on the Far South Side. \nThe largest piece of the new megadevelopment is a leading-edge quantum computing campus for the company PsiQuantum. IBM has also announced it will participate in the IQMP’s National Quantum Algorithm Center next door\, and a much-needed Advocate Health hospital to the north rounds out the site plan. The proposed buildings\, roadways and recreational paths are set back from improved parkland skirting the shoreline. \nOur program brings together project leaders and elected officials for an informative\, thought-provoking discussion. The panelists are: Related Midwest President Curt Bailey; PsiQuantum Executive VP Josh Richman; and Aldermen Peter Chico (10th) and Greg Mitchell (7th). Architect Lesley Roth\, Principal at Lamar Johnson Collaborative\, moderates the discussion. \nThe panel will address several questions\, including: \n\nWhat is quantum computing and why are technologists and economic boosters so bullish on it?\nWhat in particular makes the former U.S. Steel site attractive for quantum computing?\nHow will this project utilize best practices in urban planning?\nWhat is the full catalytic potential for new investment within nearby communities?\n\nThis program is part of our 2025 Public Domain series\, where we explore Chicago design and development with big implications for the public realm.

SUMMARY:World Peace Through Humor: A German 101
DESCRIPTION:Need a good laugh in crazy times? Well lucky you: Paco Erhard brings you comedy that makes you feel sane again. Since 2016\, Paco has made us laugh hard many times with his famous 5-Step Guide to Being German. Now\, we are delighted to announce that Paco is returning to the DANK Haus with a sparkling new show that has already been called “chaotically funny” and “stand-up genius” by reviewers in the US and worldwide. \nIn his new show\, Paco finally turns his Teutonic wit on his cherished new home: America. Traveling all over the US since 2022\, he has gathered hilariously mischievous jokes\, tongue-in-cheek opinions\, and “only in America” observations through a German lens that will make you roll on the floor laughing. \nMix this with unheard-of stories and life lessons from his travels around the world and Paco’s trademark message of “we can all learn from each other”\, and you get an evening to laugh away the madness\, be inspired\, and feel good again. \nP.S. If you love German Karneval\, this is the perfect show for you – it’s like one big Büttenrede\, the traditional German Karneval comedy performance lampooning life\, people\, politics\, and all the things that have happened throughout the year. So… come live it up and laugh it up with this Büttenrede. Helau! Alaaf! Und Prost! \nP.P.S. Don’t worry – “a German comedian” is actually not one of the signs of the apocalypse. We checked. Phew!
