Hyatt Regency O’Hare
The Hyatt has 28 handicap accessible rooms. If you require one of these rooms STC recommends that you make your hotel reservations early. You can make your reservations when conference registration starts. A few days before you arrive you should call the hotel directly and verify that they have this request on your reservation. The hotel phone number is +1 (847) 696-1234, then press 2 for guest room reservations.
If, for medical purposes, you need a refrigerator in your room, the hotel will provide you one at no charge. You should call the hotel directly a few days before you arrive to make these arrangements.
The Hyatt runs a complimentary shuttle service between the hotel and the airport. If you need a handicap accessible shuttle, when you arrive at the airport call the Hyatt at +1 (847) 696-1234 to request that van. It will take about 15 minutes for the van to arrive at the Bus/Shuttle Center.
The entire conference is going to be in the Hyatt Regency O’Hare. All floors are accessible by elevator.

Scooters and Wheelchairs
STC recommends Scootaround if you need to rent a scooter or wheelchair to use at the Summit. They will deliver the equipment to the hotel and pick it up when you request.
Dietary Requirements
For buffet and reception events, STC strives to offer options that meet everyone’s dietary requirements. For the Honors Banquet we offer a selection of entrée options that usually includes beef, fish, vegetarian, and Kosher. You must make your selection at the time you purchase your ticket. The Kosher option is available only for tickets purchased at least two weeks prior to the event. Entrees and side dishes are grilled, broiled, or roasted, but not fried. We request that sauces, gravies, and salad dressings are served on the side to assist those people who need to avoid gluten. Fresh fruit is available upon request as an alternate dessert.
STC is unable to order “diabetic meals.” Due to the nature of diabetes, you will know best what you need at a specific meal time. In most cases the facility where the Summit is held has food outlets available to help you as you monitor your insulin levels. If you find yourself in an emergency situation, contact the hotel front desk, an STC employee, or a security guard and we will get you the help you need.
