Our new convention home will be the Sheraton Grand Chicago in downtown Chicago, Illinois. Located at 301 East North Water Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60611. Throughout our discussions with the Sheraton this past year, we have been delighted by their commitment to make our experience an outstanding one. We are excited to make this space our new home!<\/p>\n
