Lodging

The workshop will take place at the beautiful Indian Lakes Resort located in Bloomingdale, Illinois, an easy 14 miles west of Chicago’s O’Hare airport. In addition to the conference center, the hotel hosts a wide range of delightful amenities, including dining options.

The room rate for workshop attendees is $92 plus tax. Please make your reservation at the hotel’s website or by phone. Use the group code “FAS” to get the workshop rate of $92 with your online reservation, or reference the 4th Annual Soil Metagenomics Meeting if you book your room by phone. Make your reservation by September 9 to guarantee the group rate.

Air travel

The closest airport is O’Hare (ORD), but Midway (MDW) is also a good option.

Ground transport

A-1 Limo offers competitive rates to/from the conference hotel. Daytime rates are $24 to/from O’Hare airport (ORD), from $57 to/from Midway airport (MDW), and from $75 to/from downtown Chicago. Please call +1-630-833-3788 with your flight information to make a reservation. Taxis tend to be much more expensive than a prearranged limo. The hotel also offers shuttle service to a Metra train station with service to downtown Chicago.
