We stayed an hour from Leadership Conference in Atlanta last year (thanks, Travel planners ) and it was a major pain getting to the conference every day and we missed out on all the breakfasts and early things. Never had time to visit vendors either. That was Atlanta and Chicago is worse.ShanaSmith said:I am with Debbie on this one. I did the same thing my first conf. It was HORRIBLE! I really don't recomend it. We stayed somewhere that was supposed to be about 15-20 minutes away and it ended up being at least a 45 minute drive each way. My parents were with me and my son and had to drive me back and forth each time. I wouldn't remomend driving either since parking in Chicago is really really expenisive.

chefjeanine said:Get that idea out of your head. Chicago will be in high construction season and you do not want to take deal with that headache.
Okay so according to the map I would be coming in on I94 to I290E/Eisenhower Expy E which becomes W Congress Pkwy and then right onto S Michigan.DebbieJ said:Especially since the Dan Ryan is TOTALLY torn up!!! You will get nowhere fast.

Will I have to worry about construction there? I don't know what you call the Dan Ryan.
Thanks
I am coming from WI. Taking I94E. I do think that I get on I294 for a short while taking that route and then turn onto I290E.DebbieJ said:The Dan Ryan is I-94 starting at where it meets up with I-57 south of the city and then all the way into the city.
Where are you coming from? I'm afraid you might have to suffer through it, or route around the city via I-294 (tollroad).
Thanks! That's a relief! But I bet when I leave I will need to be concerned - I'll be heading south/west to Iowa.DebbieJ said:Oh, from WI you'll be fine. You won't touch the Dan Ryan at all.

DebbieJ said:Kelly, there are most major budget chains in the city. So check Best Western, Comfort Inn, etc. You may be surprised to find a good rate and location. If you need help on locations--figuring out how far is too far, would you be close to the Hilton or Sheraton to catch shuttles, etc, just let me know!
