The 2012 Summit takes place 20–23 May 2012 in Rosemont, Illinois, just minutes from downtown Chicago. This year, all events take place in one location—at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare, a short drive from O'Hare International Airport.
STC has negotiated a special conference room rate for single or double accommodations at the Hyatt. Rates are $199 per day for a single and $209 per day for a double; you must register through the STC Summit website, http://summit.stc.org, to get that rate.
According to the hotel's website, the Hyatt Regency O'Hare is “an iconic O'Hare airport hotel with cutting-edge design and dramatically transformed public space and guestrooms.” A $64-million-dollar upgrade included adding a conference center to its meeting space (which the hotel also renovated), allowing STC to hold all events at the hotel.
Dining and entertainment options at the hotel include the Red Bar and the “hip, contemporary” O'H American Grill, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The Hyatt runs a complimentary shuttle service between the hotel and O'Hare Airport. Look for the signs for the Hyatt Regency at the Bus/Shuttle Center; it departs from door 1.
Staying at the official conference hotel allows attendees to take advantage of the after-hours informal networking that often takes place in bars, restaurants, and lobby of the hotel. And by staying at the Hyatt, you also help STC fill its contractual room block and keep rates down for future conferences.
See you in Rosemont at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare!
