===CODE4LIB 2013 - CHICAGO LOGISTICS===
UPDATE Jan 30: UIC Conference organizers are renegotiating shuttle service to augment public transportation options at the conference. Details will be posted here and shared with the Code4Lib list as soon as they are available.
This page is about the nuts and bolts of getting from the airport to hotel, and from the hotel to the UIC campus. There is plenty more conference and location info on:
* The 2013 Social Activities page http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_social_activities
The conference hotel – The Crowne Plaza - is at the corner of Madison and Halsted. The UIC – Halsted stop on the CTA Blue Line train from O’Hare airport also stops at Halsted, five blocks south of the hotel. The conference sessions will be held on the UIC campus, which is 9 blocks (~1 mile) south of the hotel along Halsted. The #8 Halsted bus runs between the two locations. This bus runs along Halsted street every ten minutes or so, depending on the time of day. Service does stop at 12:30 am on this line. See the CTA schedule for details.
