If you are interested in securing taxi service at anytime in Chicago I recommend contacting Flash Cab at 1 (773) 567-1444. They are reliable and you can book your reservation in advance. In most areas of the city you can easily flag a taxi, but it is handy to have this number.

Complimentary coffee and snacks will be available in the mornings in our meeting room at the Chicago Lighthouse. Lunch will also be provided complimentary of the Lighthouse on both days and will consist of sandwiches, salads, drinks and snacks. If you have any dietary restrictions or would prefer an alternative to the lunch menu the Lighthouse has a full service cafeteria. The cafeteria is open for breakfast and lunch. Food purchased in the cafeteria is not complimentary but the prices are very reasonable and low priced. Menus will be available in the meeting room.
