Chicago 2008

The Ad Club will be going to Chicago in April.

The following is information that should help you for the journey.

Academic Permission
K-State Office of Student Life will permit academic excusal for the out-of-state trip because it is educational and enhances the learning experience in your field of interest.

"I can't make it to the meeting but want to go on the trip."
Download the PDF, print it out, fill out the information, and send us an e-mail.

How Much It Costs
The trip has been estimated to be around $250. This includes a 2-night stay in downtown Chicago, round-trip airfare, and a 3-day CTA pass. The estimate does not include food, drink and shopping. Chicago has a lot of it, so save your pennies.

Where We're Going
Manhattan - Kansas City - Chicago.

While we're there, we'll visit advertising agencies and other businesses. Tentatively, we're scheduled to visit DDB, BASES (Part of The Nielsen Company), Euro RSCG, GSD&M, and Ogilvy & Mather.

During our free time, maybe we'll stop by Millenium Park, Michigan Avenue, or get a huge slice of the famous Chicago-style deep dish pizza. It depends on the time we have and what the group wants to do.

Chicago - Kansas City - Manhattan.
