What are the goals of this event?
Good to Know:
• In many instances, hotel conference rooms can be a bit on the chilly side – we recommend packing layers!
• You may utilize your practice’s Divvy card for transportation costs or submit receipts for expense reimbursement through our Payables department.
• If you fly into O’Hare airport, a taxi will be the quickest way to commute to the Chicago Marriott Oak Brook hotel.
• If you fly into Midway airport, an Uber/other rideshares will be the quickest way to commute to the Chicago Marriott Oak Brook hotel.
• The dress code for the Retreat is business casual, and nice jeans are perfectly acceptable. We want you to be comfortable!
• The Meet & Greet Mixer on Tuesday is at Pinstripes.
