How attendees reach it

Allow half an hour each way to O'Hare International Airport (ORD), 18 km (11 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.

This is an out-of-centre venue — 9.1 km (5.7 mi) from the middle of Chicago — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.

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

Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and The Fireside Bowl is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.

  • 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.
