Airports
For ease of entry and exit, the best airport to fly into Chicago for this
event is Midway International (MDW). However, O'Hare International
(ORD) is another option and you can reach the venues from this airport,
although traffic may be worse.
If you're renting a car and driving, we'll
have more advice soon. Public transportation is also an option. See more
info on Chicago pubic transportation below.
Using Chicago public transportation
Chicago's public transportation system includes both busses and trains
(or the "el," short for "elevated train"). You can find more info on the public transportation system at:

From the airport:
We'll post tips on taking public transportation to the first venue soon.
