Pros and Cons of Discussion Venues in Chicago

The city that is a conversation piece in itself is the ideal place to host any type of discussion. Still, there are advantages and disadvantages that could potentially guide your thought process when looking for a discussion venue in Chicago.

Advantages

  • Chicago is truly a multicultural city
    Chicago is an ethnically diverse and tolerant city. The accommodating and inclusive environment makes it an ideal place to hold meaningful discussions about diverse topics.

  • Shops operate 24/7
    Nightlife in Chicago means shopping and you can buy groceries even at 3 a.m. because most establishments operate 24/7. It gives you the needed flexibility when organizing a time-pegged discussion event that's equally time-consuming to plan.

  • Home rental is affordable
    If your discussion is tied to a multi-day event then participants won't have to worry too much about the cost of accommodation. The cost of housing in Chicago is surprisingly affordable whether you are buying or renting.

  • Chicago is very walkable
    Besides having a reliable public transit system, Chicago is a very walkable city. The participants of your discussion event have several options to navigate the city including bike-sharing through Divvy.

  • The friendly locals
    Chicagoans are known for their down-to-earth and genuinely friendly nature. They are the precise crowd you'd want to attend an open admission discussion event.

Disadvantages

  • It's an expensive city
    Have a decent budget for your discussion event because Chicago isn't an affordable city. You'll spend the most on food, utilities, and transportation.

  • Traffic
    During rush hour, regular trips take three times longer. It's something worth having in mind when coming up with an agenda for your discussion event.

  • Parking
    Go for a discussion venue with on-site parking or make arrangements to provide it. Chicago has a terrible parking issue and you don't want it to dampen everyone's experience.

  • Violent crime
    Chicago has a long history of mobs and violent crimes. It's important to have proper security measures around your event and sensitize participants to be vigilant as they would anywhere else.

  • Bone-chilling winters
    Chicago winters are grey, snow-filled, and marked by heavy winds. Look for a venue with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
