The kind of event it takes
Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 11th of 18 venues mapped in Evanston.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
The app bill, at this size
A Evanston Civic Center programme at 240 activated attendees — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Evanston — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
