How attendees reach it
43 km (27 mi) to O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
Being 1.1 km (0.7 mi) from the middle of Waukegan means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Waukegan has 10 venues mapped in total and a population of 88,570. The Waukegan guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
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. Genesee Theater is 2nd of 3 such houses mapped in Waukegan.
- 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.
