How attendees reach it

Allow half an hour each way to O'Hare International Airport (ORD), 30 km (19 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.

The centre of Chicago is 5.4 km (3.4 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.

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.

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. Harold Washington Cultural Center is 27th 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.
