Chicago Conference

When you think of modern architecture, you think of Chicago. After all, the Windy City is the birthplace of the famed skyscraper, 20th century American design, and famous architectural icons such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan. Architecture has been Chicago's  number one attraction for decades. Check out some of the great group tour options to give your Chicago event guests a taste of this tradition:

Architectural River Cruise

This 90-minute river cruise places you at the feet of over 100 skyscrapers, each designed or inspired by the Modernists of nearly a century ago. As you travel through the birthplace of modern architecture, a specially trained docent describes the work of those who revolutionized the building arts, and how they are linked structurally and architecturally. This tour spotlights more than 50 architecturally significant sites where you will discover a new perspective on the city.

Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio

This tour begins in the historic neighborhood of Oak Park, Illinois. Guests enjoy a guided tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Home & Studio, which was his personal residence in Oak Park. This extraordinary Home & Studio complex served as Wright's architectural laboratory from 1889 to 1909, the years that launched his career.  Here, he conceived the Prairie style of architecture, testing ideas that found their fullest expression in many of the surrounding homes he designed for clients.

This one-of-a-kind photo safari begins at Millennium Park's bean structure, where a professional photographer gives an orientation on good photography technique and how to highlight the best of the structures you are photographing. Guides will provide instruction on how to truly make your Chicago pictures come alive!

Allow your guests to view Chicago at every angle! Each of these tours have special group pricing and are available for customization. This is a nice way to bring your clients out of their meeting rooms and let them enjoy the city!
