The Westin Chicago North Shore is located 16 miles north of O'Hare airport. Hotel parking is free and will provide pick up service from the train as well as complimentary service to and from the Northbrook Court shopping center and other area sites. The Westin is located on "restaurant row" and the hotel has a health club and spa on site. Another fantastic highlight is our Friday night buffet, a "Taste of Chicago". As your new organizers, we look forward to making this an event to remember!

We will see you at the "CHICAGO CRYSTAL BALL".
