Gleacher Center

Gleacher Center is a modern conference and events venue for the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, located along the Chicago River just off Michigan Avenue in the busy Streeterville/River North area. Its prime downtown setting puts visitors steps from riverfront boat tours, the Magnificent Mile, and major museums, which makes it a popular destination for business meetings, executive education, and special events throughout the week.

The streets around the center are typically busy with commuter traffic, rideshares, and delivery vehicles, and on-street parking is metered, limited, and subject to time restrictions that are strictly enforced. Planning your trip and arranging parking near Gleacher Center in advance helps you avoid circling crowded blocks, manage Chicago’s metered parking rules, and choose a secure spot close enough to walk comfortably to your event or sightseeing plans. Because local regulations, meter hours, and available options can change, visitors should always review the latest official city and facility information before they drive.
