Modern auditoriums with advanced technology in Chicago
When searching for a conference venue, technology should be as important as price and spaciousness. You'll need ample access to electricity, wifi, and lighting to ensure speakers are seen and heard. Many Chicago auditoriums include microphones, speakers, accessory lighting, and even video cameras with staff to run them. But you'll need to inquire first. Whether you're looking for a space with historic arches and Greek statues or something functional and contemporary, Chicago's auditoriums are well worth exploring.
Chicago auditoriums suitable for conferences
If you're looking to rent an auditorium in Chicago, you're in luck. Because the majority are both functional and beautiful spaces. Your guests will love having time to marvel at the art and architecture in between events as the conference unfolds.
If you want to combine the best of modern technology with a historic setting, check out the Auditorium Theatre, located in the heart of the loop. It is as much a part of the Chicago tapestry as the Great Fire and the World's Columbian Exposition. The theater has over 130 years of history as a landmark, making it an ideal conference, lecture, party, and graduation venue.
Lower in capacity but no less spectacular is the Cindy Pritzker Auditorium, a 371 seat space inside of the Chicago Public Library. The Library offers several suitable event venues for private and professional use, including the Winter Garden. This architectural wonder features a 52-foot glass dome for abundant natural light even in the midst of an Illinois winter.
For smaller venues, coworking spaces provide spacious offices that can substitute for an auditorium if your gathering is small. As a major US city, Chicago has dozens of coworking spaces with suitable rooms. Offices in coworking spaces are also much more likely to be technologically equipped. Downtown hotels can also seat hundreds in conference rooms that come with projectors and advanced lighting tech.
School auditoriums for rent in Chicago
School auditoriums are abundant and affordable ways to hold a special event. Since schools aren't able to list spaces for rent in the way a hotel or theater would, you'll have to check their website or visit to find out what's available.
Start your search with the City Colleges of Chicago. There are several campuses scattered throughout the city, making access a snap. Chicago Public Schools provide cafeterias, football fields, and other spaces for community events. Inquire to see if their auditoriums are available for special events.
