NAHO ConferencesOptional Recreational Activities at the NAHO 2022 Professional Development Conference August 7 - 10 Chicago NAHO has two entertaining recreational activities planned during the Chicago Conference. The first will be a 90-minute Architectural Cruise on all three tributaries of the Chicago River. This particular architectural cruise has been rated as one of the top six attractions in Chicago by U.S. News and World Report. The cruise is narrated by architecture students who demonstrate that many of Chicago's classic buildings are true works of art. NAHO is making the cruise available to conference attendees (and their guests) for only $25 per person--a significant savings over the regular cost of the cruise. Buy your cruise tickets in advance (when you register for the conference) to be assured a place in the cruise.
Cub's Game at Wrigley Field! NAHO has reserved seats (in its own section with unobscured views) to see the Washington Nationals take on the Chicago Cubs at historic Wrigley Field. Conference registrants will meet in the hotel lobby before the game to travel to the game together. NAHO is offering these reserved seats to conference registrants (and a guest) at a price significantly lower than these same tickets could be purchase at the Wrigley box office--only $30 per person.
