Here’s an outline detailing the conference expenses that are covered by PALFINGER:

Hotel: PALFINGER will pay for your hotel reservation (single occupancy) during the nights of Sept. 11th & 12th. Any additional nights outside of these dates, should you choose to extend your stay in Schaumburg / Chicago, will be your responsibility.

Meals: Meals are provided during the conference dates for the conference attendee. Breakfast is included as part of your hotel stay, and lunches and dinners during the event are also included as part of your conference registration.

Transportation: Please arrange for a taxi or ride share (Uber/Lyft) to your designated hotel upon arrival in Chicago. Daily shuttles from the hotel to the Headquarters and back will be provided during the event. If you prefer to rent a car, please note that this will be an out-of-pocket expense. Also, parking onsite at the Headquarters is limited so we kindly ask that you take the daily shuttles to and from the event.

PALFINGER has reserved a block of rooms at the Renaissance Hotel for conference attendees for the nights of September 11th and 12th. Please book your room directly by clicking the button below. If you plan to extend your stay in Schaumburg/Chicago and wish to continue your stay at the Renaissance, please contact the hotel directly to add additional nights to your reservation.

Due to space constraints, we have organized transportation to and from the venue from the Renaissance Hotel for your convenience. There is no onsite parking available. Details regarding the transportation schedule, and pick-up locations will be provided when you check into the hotel. Should you miss the shuttles or wish to Uber/Lyft instead of taking the arranged transportation, the address of the PALFINGER Headquarters is: 2324 Palmer Drive, Schaumburg, IL 60173

While you are more than welcome to bring your spouse, partner, or family to Chicago, please note that due to the large number of participants, they will not be able to participate in any of the event activities.

Any expenses incurred for your spouse, partner or family, including flights, meals, hotel costs for double, triple or quadruple occupancy, will be your responsibility.

We recommend comfortable yet professional attire suitable for an afternoon of sightseeing and an evening on the water (covered boat). Please be sure to bring anything you may need until you return to the hotel later that night (ie. Medications). If you have any questions or need further guidance on what to wear, please feel free to ask.

On the morning of Sept. 13th, after checking out of the hotel, you will be able to store your luggage onsite at the PALFINGER Headquarters. We will securely hold your belongings until you are ready to depart.
