Food

We want you to have the best time and not worry about a thing at For/By. Don’t worry - breakfast and lunch will be provided with plenty of snacks in between.

All meals will accommodate dietary restrictions and are mindful of those who prefer non-alcoholic or non-caffeinated options as well. (If you’re a caffeine drinker - don’t worry, there will be plenty of that too!)

Travel

// FLYING IN: For those flying in, use ORD (O’Hare) or MDW (Midway) airports. We’ve partnered with Delta to offer an exclusive discount code - available once you’ve purchased your ticket!

// SLEEP: We have a room block at the Freehand Hotel Chicago - they offer Quad rooms (luxe hostel-style rooms) for the budget conscious folks or traditional private hotel rooms if you’re looking to make a vacation out of your trip to Chicago! You’ll get access to the exclusive discount code once you’ve purchased your ticket!

// GETTING AROUND: Chicago is a very easy transit city. Use a 1-day or 3-day fare pass and you’ll be able to get around on the CTA via bus or train easily. You can also use ridesharing apps or even Divvy bikes!

What You’ll Need

There’s no required dress code - wear whatever makes your heart happy (or will make you feel your best in those headshots). You also don’t need any notetaking materials - we’ll have paper + pens ready to go for all the thoughts and ideas you want to jot down.
