9. Chicago Architecture Foundation - http://www.architecture.org/ (Events of a primarily religious or political nature are not permitted.)
10. North Park University - http://www.northpark.edu/ (Annette Jobs is the POC at Conference Services)
11. University Plaza (DeKalb, Illinois) - http://uniquevenues.com/facil.detail.rfi.cfm?facil_id=15938 (Not sure who suggested this, but I (musing85) would strongly recommend against it. First, it's way the hell out of Chicago (across the street from where I live, in fact). Second, it will probably not be available. NIU's spring semester doesn't conclude until a week before the convention's planned date; I doubt they'll have it cleaned up and ready by the time we'd want it, and chances are they're already booked with the usual round of soccer and cheerleading camps.)
12. University of Chicago - http://www.uchicago.edu
13. International House at University of Chicago
14. Concordia University of River Forest - http://curf.edu (POC: Pete Becker, director of auxiliary services 708-209-3092; price is $22 per day for a single and three meals but it's a dry campus. Renting conference rooms costs additional.)
15. University of Illinois at Chicago - http://www.uic.edu/depts/ci/ (POC Ros Pitts of Meetings and Conferences)
