Access and arrival
O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is 91 km (57 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
Valparaiso has 18 venues mapped in total and a population of 35,065. The Valparaiso guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
At 5,000 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
