About the Venue: DePaul University

The conference will be held at DePaul University in downtown Chicago. Registration, Keynote, Featured Speaker, Academic panels, and Pub Quiz will be held in the DePaul Center Building (1 E. Jackson) while the Game Night, Awards, and Reception will be held in the Daley Building (14 E. Jackson). 

 

Currently, hotel prices near the conference are either sold out or highly expensive, due to the Chicago Marathon. We encourage you to look further out than downtown Chicago if budgets are strained. There are reasonable options outside of downtown for both hotels and AirBnBs.

All conference locations are easily accessible by Chicago's public transportation system, the L. The nearest lines to the conference are the Red Line, Blue Line, Green Line, Brown Line, Orange Line, Pink Line and Purple Line.  From the Red/Blue trains, exit at Jackson Boulevard. From the other lines, exit at Adams Street/Wabash Avenue.  It is also very close to the bus lines and the Metra (light rail) lines. Metra Train stations are located within a short walking distance (or cab ride) of the Loop Campus (Union Station; Chicago & Northwestern Station; LaSalle Street Station; Illinois Central Station).
