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.
