Getting there
63 km (39 mi) to O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
1.6 km (1 mi) out from the middle of Gary — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Gary has 8 venues mapped in total and a population of 67,555. The Gary guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
