How attendees reach it
3 km (1.9 mi) to O'Hare International Airport (ORD). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.
The centre of Des Plaines is 3.1 km (1.9 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Des Plaines has 7 venues mapped in total and a population of 58,832. The Des Plaines guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
At 18,500 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 18,500 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
