Travel and Accomodations

The conference location 200 S Wacker Dr is adjacent to Union station, which has direct train connections to the O’Hare and Midway airports as well as commuter trains to the broader Chicagoland area. In particular, the CTA blue line connects to O’Hare, while the Metra system provides a wide set of connections to other parts of Chicago and its suburbs, which may be of interest for budget hotel options. See the following websites for more info on these systems: CTA system map, Metra system map.

For participants from University of Illinois, besides Amtrak and buses to Union station, UI rides provides direct transportation to 200 S Wacker.

Further information on accessing 200 S Wacker is available via the Illini center website, which is in the same building as DPI.
