Tips for RSNA week
- Tell us your hall or hotel when you book. McCormick Place is very large and each hall has its own drop-off
- Book your ride back to Midway at the same time. Both prices are locked in
- Have a full day of meetings? Book a car by the hour, from $95 an hour
- Pack a warm coat. Chicago in early December is cold, and the first snow usually comes in mid-November
- Exhibitors: tell us how many cases you have so we send a vehicle with room
