Access and arrival

23 km (14 mi) separates Theater on the Lake from O'Hare International Airport (ORD) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

8.7 km (5.4 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.

The published number for the venue is +1-312-414-1313.

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

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. Theater on the Lake is 39th 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.
