Situated squarely in the center of the country, Chicago is easy to travel to from virtually anywhere. Thanks to thousands of flight options, six class-one railroads, a vast network of major highways and a wide variety of airlines, it’s also one of the most cost-competitive cities in the U.S.

There is no better city to host a meeting or convention than here in Chicago.  Unique Chicago meetings and events are shaped by the feel of the event location. Attendees can network in landmark locations, historic museums and sporting venues, or take in the city skyline from outdoor boat, park, and rooftop venues – each showcasing some of the best the city has to offer. Chicago offers meeting professionals and attendees an incredible variety of unique venues and elite services, as well as unmatched entertainment options and a Michelin-rated dining scene.
