WHAT'S IN: CHICAGO
Attending AMC 2010? Here are a couple of ways you can make the most of your trip to the Windy City.
VIEW Chicago® Insider’s Guide 2010
The editors of Chicago Magazine have especially created a guide to Chicago for AMC attendees that focuses on the center of the city – taking as a starting point the Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park, the site of this year’s conference. The guide features everything from where to drink, eat and shop to can’t-miss spots for architecture buffs and hipsters. Click the image above to view the Zinio interactive version of the guide, which include direct links to featured properties.
SIGN UP Millennium Park Walking Tour for AMC Attendees*
Located right across from the conference hotel, at the north end of Grant Park, Millennium Park is Chicago's "hottest" new destination. At a final cost of $425 million, it surpasses any other public project of its kind ever before undertaken in Chicago. Learn about the 50-foot high dual interactive glass block water towers with their giant LED video screens. Stand with your guide underneath the 33-foot high concave center of artist Anish Kapoor's stainless steel "Cloudgate" sculpture, affectionately called “The Bean” by Chicago’s residents. Allow the polished orb to pull you into its three-dimensional illusionary reflections. Discover the acoustical concepts and design principles of the Pritzker Music Pavilion, and journey the 925-foot long serpentine stainless steel pedestrian bridge to the shoreline of Lake Michigan. Millennium Park may very well one day define Chicago for the world. Experience it as our guides narrate for you its concepts and dimensions.
*Scheduled for Monday, October 4, at 4:45-5:45 pm. Included with conference registration; sign up required upon confirmation.
