General tour information
The Chicago Dental Society welcomes visitors to Chicago. Spouses and accompanying guests will find here, at their fingertips, a guide for enjoyment during their stay. One of the best reasons to come to Chicago is to experience a city rich in history, culture, architecture and yes…shopping. Chicago’s restaurants, shops, theaters, and its people hold the key to unique visitor experience. Tour activities have been arranged for your pleasure through CHICAGO IS…INC., the official tour company of the 145th CDS Midwinter Meeting.
Tours where transportation is included will depart from the Chicago Hyatt Regency Hotel, 151 E. Wacker Dr., at the Stetson Street West Tower Entrance.
