Access and arrival
25 km (16 mi) separates Albert Ivar Goodman Theatre from O'Hare International Airport (ORD) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
The centre of Chicago is 4.2 km (2.6 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Chicago has 231 venues mapped in total and a population of 2,721,308. The Chicago guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
