BEWARE OF POTENTIAL SCAMS - PLEASE READ:
When booking hotel accommodations, please note that Becker's Healthcare has NOT not contracted with any third-party housing service or bureau. All hotel room reservations for conference attendees and exhibitors should be made directly with the Swissotel Chicago or, in the case that the Swissotel is sold out, on your own directly through a hotel. We have been made aware of unauthorized housing and hotel reservation services that may solicit your business, such as a company called Exhibition Housing Services. THIS IS A SCAM! They may say the conference hotel block is sold out or indicate that they can book you a room at a better rate. All legitimate communications regarding housing will come directly from Becker's Healthcare. Using unauthorized reservation services may threaten your credit card security.

If you receive a suspicious email or phone call asking to book your hotel room for the conference, please let us know immediately. Email us at events@beckershealthcare.com or call 312-281-6535.

How do I get to the hotel from the airport?
Chicago has two airports - O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW), which are both 15-20 miles from Downtown Chicago. Taxi service is readily available from both airports and runs about $35 one way.  Depending on the time of day, a cab will take approximately 30 minutes.
GO Airport Express offers airport shuttle services between Chicago area locations and O'Hare and Midway Airports. Efficient, safe, and economical airport shuttles depart from O'Hare and Midway Airports every 15 minutes for Chicago downtown and many suburban locations. Ground transportation is arranged by making a reservation.
