Review the conference schedule to find the correct arrival and departure dates and times for you. Be sure to book a flight that departs after the last session ends on Friday, no earlier than 2:30pm.
Both Midway (MDW) and O’Hare (ORD) airports are great options. Each is about the same distance from the Sheraton, so feel free to choose the one with the best flight options for you.
Airport Transportation to/from the Sheraton
Getting to the Sheraton is easy from either airport. You’ll find plenty of taxis, Ubers, and Lyfts available at both locations. Additionally, public transit (CTA trains) offers convenient service from both airports into the city.
