Access and arrival
Allow half an hour each way to O'Hare International Airport (ORD), 28 km (17 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
At 2.6 km (1.6 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.
The kind of event it takes
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 40,615 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
The app bill, at this size
A Rate Field programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to the stated capacity of Rate Field — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

You are billed for people, not for the room, so this figure does not change if you move the event down the road. event67 has no floor-plan or booking product — the venue handles the space, the app handles the people in it.
