How people reach Schaumburg
O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is 16 km (9.9 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.

Before you hold a date
No published capacities
Not one Schaumburg venue publishes a capacity in the open sources behind this page. Every room on the list will quote you a number directly, but you cannot compare them before you call, so build a fortnight of venue calls into the plan.
The city is smaller than the market
77,099 people live in Schaumburg itself, but about 9.4 million live in the wider Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
A worked example, sized to Schaumburg
Suppose 240 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Schaumburg event a mid-sized Schaumburg programme, since no Schaumburg venue publishes a capacity in open data. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 240activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $950for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Schaumburg does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
