Argonne National Laboratory is about 45 minutes by car from each of the two major Chicago airports, O'Hare and Midway (see map). The map also shows the major roadways serving the Chicago area. Argonne is not near public transportation; therefore, it is strongly recommended that attendees rent a car while they're at workshop. Some of the car rental agencies serving O'Hare (airport code: ORD) and/or Midway (airport code: MDW) airports are listed below.
