Sur/Fin in the Windy City

Not only does SUR/FIN 2011 give attendees the opportunity to learn from and network with peers in the surface finishing industry, it does so with the beautiful city of Chicago and all it has to offer as its backdrop. This year’s conference is being held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill., a 2.5-square-mile village conveniently located between O’Hare International Airport and Chicago.

NASF has negotiated a special rate of $159 per night for conference attendees at two hotels—the Crowne Plaza Chicago (847-671-6350), located directly across the street from the convention center, and the Hyatt Regency O’Hare (847-696-1234), connected to the venue by a covered walkway.

Several restaurants are within walking distance, including Morton’s The Steakhouse, Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse and Tuscano’s Italian Restaurant & Lounge; and an endless assortment of other establishments are just a cab ride away.

Nearby Chicago also offers visitors such attractions as Lake Michigan, Navy Pier, Millennium Park, Lincoln Park Zoo, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Art Institute of Chicago, in addition to remarkable shopping opportunities on the city’s Magnificent Mile.
