Stay&Learn.
Two summer days on the Chicago River. Medill's downtown campus on the south bank, the Sheraton Grand on the north — a six-minute walk across the water connects where you sleep and where you think. July in Chicago: long light on the river, rooftops open, the city at its most generous.
Medill —
on the Riverwalk.
Velocity is hosted on the top floors of Northwestern Medill's downtown Chicago campus at 303 East Wacker — wrapped in glass with panoramic views of the river, Navy Pier and Lake Michigan. A working newsroom by day and a convening space built for the kind of conversation Velocity is known for.
Easy from O'Hare, Midway, or anywhere in the Loop. Step out the door and you're on the Chicago Riverwalk.
Sheraton Grand —
across the river.
An urban sanctuary at the confluence of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan — the Sheraton Grand sits directly across the water from Medill, framed by the Riverwalk on one side and Navy Pier on the other. Renovated rooms, a soaring rotunda lobby, and a six-minute walk to the front door of the venue.
A preferred attendee rate of $279 is reserved and you may book HERE.
