Chicago might be referred to by some as the second city in America, but it is quickly becoming known as a center for innovation as well as a major start-up business incubator. From the outer suburbs to the shores of Lake Michigan the new ventures are regularly choosing part time offices, flex office working spaces, on demand conference room facilities and day offices to replace the conventional company headquarters as the preferred place to conduct business operations.

In recent years the city of Chicago has placed an increasing emphasis on flexible work spaces as a means to encourage business and a result job growth. In the technology driven world, a physical base of operations isn't anywhere near as significant as it was once considered. In today's business environment companies are focusing on preserving capital resources while remaining efficient and productive. For example, many companies choose to operate from a virtual office base as a means of achieving cost savings, whatever method a business may choose to employ Chicago, IL is a great place to do it. Couple this with the City's highly educated and youthful workforce and you have a formula for success.

In addition to the city's obvious attributes as a world class business destination it has become an increasingly popular place in which to live and vacation. This can be attributed to the unparalleled dining options, entertainment choices and eclectic lifestyle offered by this exciting Midwest City. Whether you choose a play at the Goodman Theater (located in the famous Chicago Loop), a museum like the Field, a Bears football game, the excitement of a Cubs game (or more importantly the social environment of the Wrigley neighborhood and it's many bars and restaurants), a dinner at world re known and uber expensive Alinea and it's $475+ tasting menu for two (plan on booking this months in advance) or just exploring one of the many neighborhoods like the youthful Lincoln Park or Bucktown the City of Chicago offers something for everyone.

Of course we must return to the emphasis that Chicago is a serious business city. The city has an abundance of top notch hotel accommodations ranging from budget to the Four Seasons. Public transportation is abundant, clean and convenient with the L train system which runs throughout the city, cabs and buses. This Midwest business hub is also blessed with not one but 2 major international airports (O'Hare and Midway) which make finding flights in and out of the city for meetings a snap.
