The Conference was held at the Holiday Inn Chicago-O'Hare International, 5440 N. River Road, Rosemont, IL. The room rate for attendees was $99/night (plus tax). Needless to say, we filled our allotted room block!

The hotel is a mere 1.5 miles from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, one of the world's busiest and most accessible from anywhere in the world. The hotel offers a 24-hour airport shuttle service, but you can also opt for a reasonable taxi. Another choice is the famed "El" - the Chicago Transit Authority trains stop at the Rosemont Station, just a stone's throw north of the hotel.

Chicago's Midway Airport is 25 miles away - quite a long and expensive cab ride, but you can reach the conference hotel from there via the CTA. It's a long ride and you'll have to transfer trains, but it's only $1.50!
