Directions and transportation to the hotel

There are a number of means by which you can get from Chicago's two main airports (O'Hare and Midway) to the conference hotel (the Chicago Sheraton Hotel and Tower). The most economical way to travel is by public transportation. Below you will find two links (one for each airport) that will provide detailed instructions for using the "El" (our subway system) and busses to get to the hotel. Also provided is a direct link to the airport shuttle service which will bring you directly from the hotel to the conference hotel. Of course, city taxis are easy to grab and will cost approximately $30-$45 dollars depending on the airport you are traveling from and the time of day of your journey. At the bottom of the this page is a link to weather information.
