Reviews of Gleacher Center

HP - Heiura Poroi

This is one of the most beautiful views of our stay. you can see real estate complexes of this city, which however does not lack it. At the start of the Millennium Mile, we walked across the Chicago River Bridge. The buildings around Michigan Avenue are the Chicago Tribune with its neo-Gothic tower just opposite the two buildings that make up the Wrigley Building. The view is beautiful!

Annie Rubens

Clean, comfortable seating, options for theatre or small group tables. Solid AV support. Great for NAMIC Communications & Marketing conference. (Less than 100 attendees)

LANCE SAUNDERS

A great facility. Lecture rooms and study rooms are comfortable and have the latest technology. Great events happen here. I love this place.

Veronica V

It is a great building in the middle of downtown. It has incredible views to the Chicago Tribune and other landmarks. The staff is very professional. The conference rooms are nice and the dinning experience if attending a conference is great.

Ty Ebert

They hosted an event for my organization that included two large rooms and six or more meeting rooms. Additionally there was a large presentation that took place on the 6th floor that included catering and some moderate audio visuals. I was just in attendee, but I was satisfied with how the building handled everything. The actual design and layout is pretty standard for a business school. Same with the food. The views are killer, with visuals on the riverfront and some of the more iconic buildings in the skyline including the Tribune building, Trump Tower, and some of the more iconic hotels that are visible from the water.

Laura Schlaikjer

Used the conference center for a day of workshops. Space clean, very attentive help, food a tad pricey.

Steven Adlesick

I was working a Conference there. It's a Beautiful Building

Michael Barto

Attended the data science conference here. Great spot, very nice facility. I appreciated that the building has reception/security.

Peggy Zabicki

Light airy building for University of Chicago Bloom School students. Nice store on first floor with school clothes, books and supplies. The staff could use a bit of training. There is no way possible that the school could have hired a more unfriendly and surly student to work in their store. She was clearly unsuited to assist customers on any level. I asked a building employee where a particular lecture room was. He gave me the wrong information. Really lovely building. Try to avoid main floor staff.

They offer some of the greatest programs for professionals in the state of Illinois.

Omar Sukarieh

The best in business. A world class center with an amazing views. Cant ask for more

K Schneider

Visited here for a conference. Very nice facility and neighborhood on the Magnificent Mile.

Neal Silbert

Amazing urban graduate school campus. Great class rooms, conference rooms and speaker venues. Catering is handled well. Parking exists, but it's a bit tricky to find. Check if the front desk can provide validation. The building location is gorgeous.

Cheryl Berger

Stopped by to register for classes and pick up books for Basic Program Alumni classes. The book store is a great convenice as you can rent as well as buy and the staff is very helpful. The center is located just off Michigan Avenue behind the Apple Store. Good facilities for classes.

Jonathan Goetz

The Gleacher Center really is an outstanding place. Primarily it hosts graduate programs for the University of Chicago, but spaces can be reserved by others in advance. The spaces are very well kept, and the service is very professional and efficient. There is a wide variety of spaces in terms of size, as well as a small cafe. Access is generally limited at the moment to those with University IDs.

Scott Spayd

I have had several business\social events here and you can't beat the location on the river and the price. Staff is great and very accommodating and I would highly recommend choosing Gleacher over a hotel or other venue. They took time to understand our event and our needs and I felt like they were an essential part of our team and not just a vendor. Catering is from Wolfgang Puck and was excellent and competitively priced. They flexed with our timing and did not nickle and dime us for a few extras that they provided. They have provided the best venue, service and experience for my company and my guests out of any other event that I have held in Chicago.

Lee Coulter

Great academic conference center All the best technology. Comfortable chairs and good catering. Should definitely be on your target list for a small conference. Set in the beautiful surroundings of the university of Chicago, be sure to come by!

Lina Lorenzo

Modern, spacious and bright. We came to the center as part of our company's executive education program. The building is located in the heart of downtown Chicago right next to the river and cityfront plaza. The University of Chicago Booth School of Business Executive Education lives up to its name not just because of its beautiful and luxurious building, spacious, comfortable and modernly furnished classrooms, but because of the programs and world class education offered here.

Most unforgettable place in my life. Me and my batch got graduated at the Chicago Booth located here. Excellent facilities for seminars, executive education and group studies.

Andrew Driscoll

Great place in a cool part of downtown. Right by Magnificent Mile and all the shopping and next to the Chicago River, NBC tower and Tribune Tower. A good place to have any type of event, and there are great views from the windows.

Calvin Prest

Recently went to Senator Dodd and Hank Paulson discuss the crash of 2008. Very nice space Univ. Of Chicago has for their business school. Elegant architecture and quint wood detailing makes the entire inside, and the location is near impossible to beat 👌🏽

Quintin Benade

Great conference centre. Spacious and decent meeting rooms.

Been here 2x for private events & be warned it's a bit hard to find... The Gleacher Ctr is on an elevated street level that doesn't quite show on Google maps. Some parts are nicer than others (best: corner spot with 2 walls of windows; worst: stuffy lecture hall for ~50; meh: conference rooms for ~12). Catering was pretty good, although not all staff members are equally helpful (I'm vegan; asked 2 staff members before I got solid answers)

Thomas Sparkman

U Chicago has a great facility here. Their catering staff is great and the facility is always in pristine condition. The U Chicago Faculty and staff are extremely helpful to both students and visitors.

Jo Brill

Went to a talk. Impressive bar but the food ran out well before the reception was over. As for the talk, a Sticker Center event, it was interesting but we now know (since the next invited speaker is Steve Bannon) the point was more provocation than anything else.

David Ochroch

Terrific, well-located, beautiful setting for conferences / classes. Almost co-located with the Intercontinental Hotel. Modern, spacious, with wi-fi connectivity and a great book store downstairs. Stunning views from the lounges facing the river / lake. Not as close to the L as you'd want, though (Clark/Lake-blue and Grand-red are a good walk). You pay for the love, however...UofC is market-rate.

Nelson Grihalde

Awesome location for a meeting!

主力

I have to rated it Awesome after my lost wallet with lots of cash turned in... Not to mention its nice classroom setting for conferences, meetings, great locations, parking options, the catering is ok to my opinion.

Eric Rankin

Excellent and impressive meeting location for groups of around 150. There may be larger spaces too, but for our size group it was really nice.

Bethany Whiting

We have held our annual corporate event at the Gleacher Center for years. We look forward to returning every year. The facility, location, staff and food are exceptional.

Dr Cliff Brickman

Good ol University Chicago - and with their downtown location. Don't forget to look at the wall of Nobel prize-winning photographs. Ask Which floor .. The bookstore for UC mementos is on the first floor.

Stoil Stoilov

Great downtown facilities for the Booth part-time MBA program. The Hyde Park campus is much better though. Also, the Booth bookstore is here.

Truong Le

Best Business School in the State.

I had the opportunity to speak for RevLocal at a Google Event for Small Businesses on Marketing. This place is awesome. Incredible history and within walking distance of so much.

Attended a CPWA examination class here and was blown away by the facility, the staff and the environment. Despite being from New England it made me contemplate coming back here to get my MBA.

Outstanding

Joey Yoo

(Translation) UChicago A space where students can feel free to visit and study. The view from the third and fourth floors is fine because I am looking at the river. Booth seems to chase out the regular students, but it does not seem to matter. (Original) UChicago 학생이라면 부담없이 방문해서 공부할 수 있는 공간. 3,4층의 뷰는 강을 바라보고 있어서 괜찮은 편이다. 정작 Booth는 일반 학생들을 쫓아내지만 여기는 상관하지 않는 듯.
