employees, and

over 270,000

businesses call

the Chicago

area home.

SET UP SHOP

Chicago offers a

business cost

and location

advantage over

many global

cities. It’s a

central hub with

direct

connections to

all six Class-One

North American

railroads, six

major U.S.

Interstates, and

more than 200

cities worldwide.

Chicago has a $530 billion gross regional product (GRP), which is larger than some entire countries like Sweden and Norway.

O’Hare airport’s issues are well-documented but at least you have a lot of options, no matter where you’re coming from. 1400 daily departures to 200 cities worldwide.

GOOD NIGHT’S

SLEEP

Some of the finest

hotel

accommodations

in North America,

reasonably priced

and accessible,

with new ones

opening regularly.

TIME IS MONET

Turning a

business trip into

a fun vacation

for the family is

a lot easier

when you’ve got

so many

museums,

shops, and other

attractions for

your spouse and

kids to enjoy,

like the new

Maggie Daley

Skating Ribbon

or the Art

Institute.

RARE

OPPORTUNITY

After a big show

at McCormick or

signing a

contract, it’s a

short cab ride to

a big steak and

a neat Scotch

to celebrate

your success. 25

Michelin-starred

restaurants for

your enjoyment.

ALMA

MATTERS

Chicago attracts

top talent in

every field, and

retains a lot of

movers and

shakers from the

students who

stay after

graduating U of

C, Northwestern,

Loyola, et. al.

NO TIES IN THE

BLEACHERS

Wrigley day

games: With or

without clients,

it’s an amazing

experience. The

old saying “I’ve

got a 1:20

meeting on

Clark Street,”

won’t fool

anyone these

days. Maybe

Sox fans.Editor’s

Note: You’ll

have a blast at

a Sox game, too.
