I don't remember when the end of day tour is, but the timeline should be on the agenda. Allow about two hours from the scheduled end of the tour to make it to O'Hare in time to catch your flight. Depending on your airline and the type of ticket you buy, sometimes you can get bumped to an earlier flight if they aren't full.

I searched all over the PC site before posting and can't find the info I'm looking for. If it's two hours to get to the airport, I think I'm going to cancel the HO tour. I'd love to take it, but I don't want DH picking me up from our home airport at 11:00pm either. Maybe next time.

From the HO it wouldn't be 2 hours to the airport. What time is your flight, if you have one? Addison actually isn't too far from O'Hare (Midway is another story). If you need an exact time of what time the shuttle would leave the HO, you'd probably want to call the Meetings and Incentives department tomorrow to see. Even though the tour time says 1:30 pm-6 pm, they take into account the time it would take for the bus to get back down to Chicago to a conference hotel. I haven't done a HO tour since they've done them in a "self-guided" format, but I would think you'd have time to get to O'Hare within enough time for a reasonably-timed flight.
Sorry I couldn't help more. I found the info about the HO tours with a ride to O'Hare on the registration form pdf.

You're supposed to be at the airport an hour before your flight, especially if you need to check in or check luggage. The actual trip to the airport is only about 30 minutes or less. So two hours would give you a cushion against traffic and long lines. Isn't there an option for an earlier tour? I recall there being a morning one.
