Getting there

25 km (16 mi) separates Chicago 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.

At 4.3 km (2.7 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.

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.

Formats this suits

The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. Chicago Theatre is 2nd of 55 such houses mapped in Chicago.

  • 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.
