About Chicago

Chicago is a multi-cultured city, the largest city in the state of Illinois, and the largest in the Midwest. With a population of nearly 3 million people, Chicago is the third-most populated city in the United States.

Today, Chicago boasts a rich diversity of cultural offerings: major league sports teams (Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs, and White Sox), a financial district anchored by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, located at the foot of LaSalle Street in the Chicago Board of Trade Building, the shopping of the Magnificent Mile, and a blossoming Theatre district. The city’s waterfront allure and nightlife has attracted residents and tourists alike.

Upscale shopping along the Magnificent Mile, thousands of restaurants, as well as Chicago’s eminent architecture, continue to draw tourists. The city is the United States’ third-largest convention destination, making it the most suitable destination for the upcoming conference.
