Does anyone know of what hotels I should be looking into, other than the ones PC has lined up? I want to do a search, but I don't know where to begin.
 
go to hotels.com, type in chicago hotels. Look for the conference ones (Chicago Hilton, Sheraton Towers)and you can also see surrounding hotels. A map will come up.

What's the address for where Conference is being held?
 
The convention center? It's McCormick Place. I don't know the specific street address, but the Chicago tourism site would have it.Hotel-wise, you're probably better off to get a hotel near the conference hotels. There's not much near McCormick as far as restaurants, and you'd still need to find transportation back to your hotel after the banquet (day 2 dinner) if you aren't within walking distance of the conference hotels. (HO provides bus shuttles between conf hotels for the banquets)
