The 2024 II-VI Workshop will be held September 29 to October 2, 2025, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile.

The Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile is located at 511 North Columbus Drive in Chicago, Illinois. The hotel is two blocks from the Magnificent Mile. It is a 12-minute walk from entertainment, restaurants, and boat cruises at Navy Pier, and 8 minutes from the Chicago Riverwalk.

The II-VI Workshop Committee urges all attendees to reserve their hotel rooms at the official workshop hotel, the Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk.  The Committee has had to guarantee a certain amount of room nights in order to complete our contract with the hotel.  If room numbers fall below the contracted amount, the workshop must pay an attrition fee.

By staying at this hotel you will assist the workshop in lowering the costs of producing our workshop and continuing with the program in subsequent years. 

Thank you for your help in making the workshop successful for all.
