The Innovation Workshop is held first thing in the morning, on August 26th. This is considered a pre-conference event. Meet with a cohort of FourKites product designers, product managers, engineers, and other FourKites customers in a design workshop. We’ll split customers into three different groups, each tackling a different challenge in supply chain management. The product team will lead participants through discovery and design exercises and together the group will create late-stage designs in less than one day. Please note that space is limited, and will require a confirmation email to attend.

The average temperature in Chicago in late August for a typical day ranges from a high of 74°F (23°C) to a low of 60°F (16°C). Some would describe it as mildly cool with a gentle breeze. The complete conference agenda takes place indoors, which tends to be cool. Make sure to pack accordingly.
We recommend business casual attire for the entire conference. Dress pants or jeans, dresses, blouses, and sportcoats (tie or no tie – up to you!), are welcome. Conference ballrooms tend to be chilly so please consider bringing a blazer or a sweater.
It is recommended that attendees that are participating in our Innovation Workshop, or FourKites AI Academy programs arrive Monday, August 25th.

That is completely up to you. The price of the conference does include a 2-night stay at the host hotel, Swissotel Chicago.

Self-parking is also available at $65 per day. Parking will be billed at your own cost, and is not included in your conference registration.
