2024 DNC Day 1

This morning were the first of the various caucus and council meetings. Most of these meetings include special guest speakers, panels and the opportunity to meet other delegates from around the country that are interested in the same focus areas.

The exhibitor hall (this year affectionately dubbed Dempalooza) has various organizations and a wide variety of vendors. It’s great for learning what different organizations are up to and many have buttons, shirts and other swag for sale (and some for free!).

I’m currently on a shuttle from the hotel to the evening venue (United Center). It has been held twice while security addresses a breach of the permitter by protesters.
