RECEPTION:

Time : June 14th (Wednesday), 18:00-20:00pm
Location : Thorne Auditorium Lobby (Behind Rubloff Hall)
The ICS’17 reception will be held on June 14th, from 6pm onwards.

SOCIAL EVENT: LAKE MICHIGAN CRUISE: 

Time : June 15th (Thursday), 17:30-20:00pm
The ICS’17 conference has organized a boat cruise on the waters of Lake Michigan. A ticket for the cruise will be provided to you at the registration counter when you pick up your badge. Please ensure that you have the ticket with you when you arrive for the cruise. There will be no admittance without a ticket. Dinner will be served on the cruise.
The cruise boarding is to begin at 5:30pm (17:30). The cruise will depart from Navy Pier at 6:00 pm (18:00) sharp and we are expected to return by 8:00 pm (20:00).
All attendees are to arrive at Navy Pier for the boarding. The address is: 600 E Grand Avenue • Chicago, IL 60611 . Parking information can be found at the Spirit Cruises page. A map of Navy Pier showing where the Spirit docks can be found HERE.
Directions from the conference center are available here. Please do NOT cross Lake Shore Drive (it is under construction and is unsafe), just walk south to the underpass and cross under Lake Shore Drive.
