Chicago, Illinois - June 5-7, 2009
With Chicago as our host city, make sure you also plan for fun. Early June weather in Chicago could not be better and you will run out of energy before you will run out of things to do. Also make sure you bring your appetite, as Chicago is the "food town." Eat at such places as Mike Ditka's, or Gibson's Steakhouse. Chow down on an authentic deep dish from Lou Malnatis or Giordanos, or simply order a "cheeburger" at Billy Goat Tavern. The
Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown - Lakefront, our host for this year's event, is the perfect location to experience Chicago. Situated in the heart of downtown between the "Magnificent Mile" of Michigan Avenue and Navy Pier along the "Gold Coast" you can reach any destination walking, short cab ride or the other easy-to-use public transportation systems. Feel free to plan this event as a vacation. Take in a Cubs or Sox game, have a laugh with the Second City players, enjoy some music at the House of Blues, or visit any number of sites including the Sears Tower, Navy Pier, Water Tower, Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum and more. For the family, there is also the Lincoln Park Zoo, John G. Shedd Aquarium, and every girl's favorite store, American Girl Place. Feel free to take an architectural tour, jump on a lake or river cruise, or simply enjoy a run along the lake shore.
You'll come for the education and stay for the good time.
