CHECK26 has gone down in history as one of the best Porsche Convergences not just in Chicago, but the world. You come to a backdrop of Chicago staples: The L, Sears tower (the proper name), 410 Porsches, and most importantly the energy. 

The people that share this space with you for several hours one day out of the year is unlike anything you’ve imagined. You’re surrounded by history but most importantly— personality. 

My first major Porsche event in my life was Check22 and I’ve been proud to say I’ve shot them all since then. But that’s the thing- you keep coming back. The addiction to the energy continues to grow and it’s the one thing in Chicago we all look forward to yearly. 

I commend Adam, Dan and the entire CIO crew for doing what they do for the community. Raising money for the great south side charity Crushers Club and breaking the record for Porsche’s in attendance, just over 400. 

I also thank my team, @teamking.co for all your work. And proud of @tiffany.rwb for having your 997 here on the largest stage finally as an Owner.

Could you imagine 400+ Porsches in all forms: Race cars, show cars, restorations, all lining up in Chicago? Don’t imagine- be there next time.

“’There is a moment of clarity when a space speaks out to me, then the vision comes in hot as driving into a corner at Road America,’ Dan Cubric types in a Slack message from his office overlooking the Chicago River. That vision is his mental blueprint for a unique annual gallery installation: a vivid super bloom of Porsches bursting through the cracked city streets like autobahn wildflowers. Where those bulbs sprout is up to Dan.

Part artist, part engineer, and total Porsche fanatic, Dan Cubric is the architect of the Checkeditout experience.

He thinks of the different sections of an event site like stages. The right site has a variety of stages to set. Different environments to place the Porsches in, with opportunities for interactions with natural and artificial light and juxtaposition with architectural details. Checkeditout is designed to be photographed. It’s also designed to inspire connection. Dan draws in space for that, too.”

To read the rest of “The Architect,” Adam Hurlburt’s profile on Dan Cubric, pick up your copy of Off The Map, the Checkeditout book, at Check26. Where you’ll see the polished product of Dan’s handy work. Meet Dan and other authors/creators at the Checkeditout Store for a 1pm Off The Map signing. All copies of OTM are welcomed.
