Choosing the right space is crucial for running a successful meeting, so we’ve compiled a short list of things to keep in mind before renting a venue:

• Capacity and layout. A specific number of seats is often one of the main requirements when a business gathering is in question, so there’s a filter on our website that allows you to enter the number of attendees. Rooms that offer multiple seating arrangements are a great option for flexibility.
• Equipment. Most meetings involve a presentation, a video call, or both. Make sure to check what equipment is available in the room, including AV technologies, a whiteboard, and conference call facilities. Use our filters to find rooms that meet all your requirements!
• Transport possibilities. You don’t want the attendees to struggle to arrive at the meeting destination, so make sure the location is well-connected. Ample on-site parking amenities are also a useful perk.

Yes! Accommodation is crucial when some or all of the attendees are coming from out of town and hotels that offer meeting facilities are a great solution. Eurostars Magnificent Mile and Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown are two brilliant options located near the Harbour. For an option a little deeper inland, we recommend SpringHill Suites Chicago Chinatown.
