[![](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "jsalogo2010")](https://blog.jsa.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/jsalogo2010.jpg)As team JSA unpacks from another whirlwind Chicagoland adventure at this year’s [ITW](http://www.internationaltelecomsweek.com/), we’re reminded of just how lucky we are to not only serve the best clients in the business, but to be working in a dynamic and innovative industry. We’re struck by the energy and positive attitudes of this year’s attendees…even after being on their feet for the better[![](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "Volare")](https://blog.jsa.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Volare1.png) part of 72 hours. We’re motivated by our peers’ hard work and dedication and an industry that has had its expansion and consolidation in the last decade, but one that is clearly bursting with expectation – an industry driven by people, dedicated, innovative, hard-working people. YOU. US. WE! As the JSA team prepares for what is sure be another spectacular event, [Telecom Exchange](http://www.thetelecomexchange.com/), we thought we’d compile some our favorite photos, quotes and general observations on this year’s ITW. Enjoy! •  [![](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "Mike Perry")](https://blog.jsa.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Mike-Perry1.png) [Volare](http://www.volarerestaurant.com/) in Chicago does Italian as good as it comes. Strongly recommend for future ITW dinner arrangements. JSA’s Jaymie “Scotto” Cutaia will tell you the same. Thanks to all those who attended – and particularly [Todd Raymond](http://www.alliedfiber.com/management.php) for his unbeatable wine choice. •   [Optelian’s](http://www.optelian.com) Mike Perry is about as down-to-earth and engaging as they come.
