Pros and Cons of Meeting Spaces in Chicago

While the advantages of hosting a meeting in Chicago IL outweigh the disadvantages for most, there are still a few aspects to consider.

Advantages

  • Diverse choice of meeting venues
    Chicago’s diverse meeting venues mean you’ll have many options when finding a space to suit your needs. There are art-filled penthouses overlooking the city and historic speakeasies, all with the space requirements and facilities you need.

  • Affordability
    Chicago's property prices are relatively affordable, meaning its meeting rooms and venues generally cost less than some of the United States’ other major cities. However, the rent of your chosen locations may increase per hour depending on the amenities available and the booking for the next meeting.

  • Equipment rentals
    If your conference rooms or meeting rooms in Chicago don’t have the necessary equipment, you can easily find rentals in the city. Chicago's equipment rental companies can assist, whether it’s a projector, sound and audio gear, or just tables and chairs.

  • Transportation options
    Getting to and from your meeting rooms in Chicago is easy, thanks to the city’s efficient public transportation system of buses and trains. If you prefer a private option, there’s an abundance of taxis and ride-share services in the city, although you will have to compete with Chicago’s notorious traffic.

  • Cultural and sporting attractions
    One of the benefits of hosting a meeting or event in Chicago is its cultural and sporting attractions, which offer your guests plenty of entertainment once the workday is over. You can get lost in the city’s art galleries and interactive museums, see its famous baseball teams in action, or escape to its waterfront parks.

Disadvantages

  • Bad traffic
    While Chicago’s public transportation network is efficient, its traffic is notorious, which doesn’t make it ideal for those who want to drive themselves to and from meetings. While Chicago offers public transport, traffic near the Field Museum and Downtown Chicago is frustrating. Getting between meeting rooms is a task and should be planned.

  • Challenging parking
    Chicago’s parking is also notorious, particularly in the downtown area, where it is almost impossible to find a space. Some places in Chicago IL, with a tough parking situation, are Logan Square, near Lake Michigan, the Magnificent Mile, West Loop, and Downtown Chicago.

  • Crime
    Chicago’s reputation for crime is long-established, and, unfortunately, there is still a relatively high crime rate in the city today.

  • Unfavorable weather
    Nicknamed the “Windy City,” Chicago IL isn’t known for its favorable weather, making hosting meetings outdoors challenging. You may have to compete with relentless winds in the spring, cold temperatures in the winter, and hot and humid conditions in the summer.

  • High taxes
    If you’re coming from elsewhere in the United States, you might be surprised to learn that taxes are charged on groceries and restaurant bills in Chicago.

Famous Locations in Chicago

  • Millennium Park
    Centered around the 110-ton Cloud Gate sculpture, this sprawling park is fringed by some of the city’s most famous landmarks. You can catch a show at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, escape to the beautiful Lurie Garden, or walk across the strikingly designed BP Pedestrian Bridge.

  • The Navy Pier
    The Navy Pier is one of the most popular entertainment destinations in Chicago IL. It encompasses amusement-style attractions, waterfront restaurants, and 50 acres of gardens. You can watch classics being performed at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, get hands-on at the Chicago Children’s Museum, or watch an immersive film at the 3D Imax Theater.

  • Willis Tower
    Once the tallest office building in the world, the Willis Tower is a 110-story skyscraper that dominates Chicago’s city skyline. On its 103rd floor, it features an observation space called the SkyDeck, complete with a spine-tingling glass-floored box known as “The Ledge.”
