Getting there
12 km (7.5 mi) separates Copernicus Center with the Mitchell P. Kobelinski Theater from O'Hare International Airport (ORD) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
16 km (9.9 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
The published number for the venue is +1-773-777-8898.
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
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.
