Purpose:

The Entrepreneurial Living-Learning Community Roundtable is intended to give leaders of entrepreneurial living-learning communities the opportunity to gather in one spot for a shared discussion and networking opportunities. Staff from campuses that are considering starting entrepreneurial living-learning communities are also welcome and encouraged to join us! Our programming will be very participant-driven, with lots of opportunities to explore program successes and help answer each other’s questions.

Cost:

$250 per person, which includes all meetings, lunch and dinner on June 17th, breakfast and lunch on the 18^th, some snack and beverage breaks, and evening entertainment on June 17^th.

Transportation:

The conference locations are all just a few blocks away from Chicago’s Union Station, making it very convenient for anyone taking the train. Once you get to the Central Loop area, most of our meetings will be within a short walk of the hotel.

Accommodations:

We are in the process of establishing a room block with Club Quarters at 111 W. Adams St., Chicago, IL 60603 and will post more information as available. However, if your institution has a membership at Club Quarters, you may be able to get an even lower rate now by going to www.clubquarters.com and choosing the Chicago, Central Loop location.
