at The Pittsfield
The Pittsfield Building was completed in 1927,
commissioned by the heirs of Marshall Field, and
was declared a historic landmark in 2002. Located in

Jewelers Row Landmark District, The Pittsfield is just
steps from Millennium Park and minutes from the
Museum Campus and McCormick Place. Virtually
unchanged since its completion, the five-story atrium
is embellished with art deco and gothic detailing,
making it the perfect backdrop for any occasion.

We are the city where meetings take place in the largest convention center in the

happen at picturesque downtown parks that offer spectacular views of Lake Michigan;
where lectures occur amid ancient museum artifacts and where attendees frequent
unmatched cultural attractions.
Trump International Hotel and Tower

(page 6), new hotels and venue openings (page 22), McCormick Place floor plans

City of Chicago
Anthony Tahlier
Not only is Chicago ideal for unforgettable events, but the city has also become the
most customer-friendly meeting and convention destination in the country. Permanent
reforms enacted at McCormick Place ensure that customers will realize significant
savings and benefit from the overall strength of Chicago as a convention and trade
show destination. In addition, our efforts to go green have reached new levels. In June
2013, the city of Chicago was one of the first cities in the world to be certified as a
sustainable destination for meetings and events by the APEX-ASTM Standard.
McCormick Place also became the worlds largest convention center certified as a
sustainable venue, joining our numerous LEED-certified buildings and Green
Seal-Certified hotels.
So, whether youre planning an intimate meeting for 10 or an international convention
for thousands, Choose Chicago is ready to simplify your planning process, help your
event run smoothly and impress your attendees.
Thank you for considering Chicago. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Chicago is a chic city, and

business-casual clothing is
appropriate at most restaurants
and venues, though downtown
areas tend to be a bit dressier.
Year-round, comfortable shoes
are a must, but pack for the
weather in each season: a light
jacket in spring and fall,
lightweight clothing for
summer and warm coats,
gloves and hats in winter.

and retailers, from Burberry to Clarks,
not to mention department stores like
Saks Fifth Avenue. It is also home to
landmarks like the Water Tower and
Pumping Station, John Hancock
Center and Wrigley Building. More:
page 152.
With its waterfront restaurants, rides

and famous 150-foot-high Ferris wheel,

attendees. For a different perspective,
plan a visit to The John Hancock
Observatory or The Ledge at Skydeck
Chicago, an all-glass encasement more
than 100 stories above the streets in
Willis Tower. More: page 146.
Parks
Two of Chicagos urban parks stretch
along the vast lakefront. Send attendees
to Millennium Park, where theyll find
Anish Kapoors mind-bending Cloud

Parks Buckingham Fountain for a
summertime show where thousands of
gallons of water shoot out from the
display every minute. More: page 147.
Museums
From well-known museums like The
Field Museum (home to the worlds larg-
est, best preserved and most complete

T. rex) to hidden gems like the Glessner
House (the 17,000-square-foot modernday castle built in 1886), you cant go
wrong sending attendees to one of these
incredible cultural institutions. More:
page 151.
Theater and Comedy

For mesmerizing theater, get group
tickets to a show at any of the
Broadway In Chicago mega-hit
productions shown at the many
theatres across the city. Or experience
a show from The League of Chicago
Theatres, which represent more than
200 theaters showing small, independent pieces to multi-million dollar
productions, including Steppenwolf
Theatre Company. offering innovative,
year-round programming on its three
stages. More: page 156.
