Access and arrival
22 km (14 mi) separates Sullivan Athletic Center from O'Hare International Airport (ORD) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
At 8.2 km (5.1 mi) from the centre of Chicago, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
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
At 3,000 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
