MobiCom / MobiHoc 2010 Local Arrangements Wiki
Agreed, or we could make the event more memorable. Either way, here is a list of candidates that come to mind, some already disqualified:
Northwestern Downtown Campus
U Chicago Gleacher Center (too small, 350 pers. max)
Columbia University
Robert Morris University
Roosevelt University
DePaul University (too small)
UIC Forum (probably too remote)
Some interesting non-university and non-hotel venues:
The Field Museum (excellent space, likely to be on the pricy side. south side of grant park, few large outside lunch options)
Shedd Aquarium (reception/dinner, no conference venue)
Hancock Tower (spectacular for reception / banquet. need to check conference capacity)
Navy Pier (should have enough conference capacity)
Sears/Willis Tower (excellent banquet possibility, conference capacity limited to 350)
