The Joint Commission 2009 Annual Conference Cost Saving Tips

• Register early for The Joint Commission Annual Conference and save up to $200 per person on registration fees! 
  
• Make the most economical travel arrangements to Chicago.  While the conference is taking place close to O'Hare Airport, Chicago also offers fairs to Midway Airport, which might have more economical flights depending where you are traveling from.  Amtrak also provides comfortable train routes directly into Chicago's Union Station.
  
• Take the shuttle van from the airport to the hotel to save on the cost of a taxi cab.
  
• Take local Chicago Transit or the Metra Train into downtown Chicago for under $10.00! 
  
• If using a taxi cab, share rides to and from the airport to the convention center
  
• Share a hotel room with your colleague and cut your hotel bill in half
  
• Take in an inexpensive evening to yourself by walking over to the local movie theatre - Muvico Rosemont: http://www.rosemont.com/muvico.php
