Arriving in Chicago

If you have registered with us for conference housing, you may check in to the hostel at any time on Friday or Saturday.

The address is:

Hostelling International – Chicago,

24 E Congress Parkway,

Chicago, Illinois 60605.

Phone: 312-360-0300.

Directions from the airports, bus station, train station and driving can be found at: www.hichicago.org/directions.htm. (Also see the CTA directions attachment below)

The Hostel is near LaSalle stop on Blue Line train.

You can pick up your concert ticket, your nametag for the conference, and the conference program at the "pre registered" area at the Friday night dinner or at the conference on Saturday morning.

You can still register for the conference by showing up at the door on Saturday or Sunday. Those that want to attend for only one day can pay a one-day registration fee of $25 ($20 for IWW members, retired, student, or unemployed)

Should you have any questions, you can call the following numbers:

Through Monday, June 20: 215-222-1905 (IWW Headquarters in Philadelphia)

From Tuesday, June 22: 610-209-1447
