See www.acen.org $40 pregistration until April 15

It's at the Hyatt in Rosemont, out near O'hare Airport, and close
to the Rosemont/River Road stop on the Blue Line CTA train line.

Last I looked the hotel was not full but they warned rooms were
going fast.

I'd advise you to preregister - at-the-con registration lines
are long; just picking up stuff when preregistered takes long enough.
