Housing and Travel
Housing
At this time, all housing reservations are closed. All conference events and sessions will take place at the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel (151 E. Wacker Drive). Just off Michigan Avenue in the heart of the Magnificent Mile, the Hyatt Regency Chicago connects visitors to music, art, entertainment, and the nightlife of Chicago. And, all sleeping rooms offer free DSL Internet service to service your business needs.
Chicago's central U.S. location makes it an easy and affordable destination. Plan to fly into either Midway International Airport (MDW) or O'Hare International Airport (ORD), take an Amtrak or commuter train, or drive into downtown using one of the city’s several highways. Conference attendees also can take advantage of special discounted airport shuttles to and from the city’s airports.
