The 2018 IBL Workshop at DePaul University in Chicago will be hosted on the Lincoln Park campus, and offers a great location and convenient travel options for participants in the region.

• Nearby Airports are Chicago O'Hare (Code: ORD) or Midway Airport (Code: MDW).  Both airports offer a convenient distance for public transport or cab ride to the the Lincoln Park campus.
• Lodging during the workshop days will be within the Clifton Fullerton Residence Halls. The campus residence halls cannot host any underage (under 18) family members for attendees. If needed, nearby lodging can be suggested, but the workshop is not able to support those costs.
• Lodging is a short walk to workshop rooms, campus dining, and the surrounding neighborhood attractions.
• Information on travel scholarships can be found here.

The goals and sequencing of workshop sessions are intentionally designed for participants to be present and engaged for the entire 4 days.
