There will be beautiful people and smart people and interesting people (often the same people), and food and drinks, and science videos, and possibly experiments, and many other things we just can’t possibly explain here.
Guaranteed to brighten up your winter. You won’t want to miss this!
SCIENCE COCKTAIL FAQs
Attire – Cocktail party but weather appropriate. That means, if you want to wear your cute party dress or cool new shirt – fantastic. But if it’s cold and blizzard-y out and you can’t imagine wearing anything but flannel-lined jeans and a big sweater, that’s fine with us! You can ditch your boots at the door – the drinks and conversation will warm you right up. Just no pajamas please.
Parking – Special DISCOUNT PARKING ($4!!) at Self Park public garage at Kinzie & Wells Streets, one block north of DIRTT. You’re welcome!
Public Transit – Easy! Event is right across the street from the southeast doors of Merchandise Mart on Wells. CTA brown line stop is on the 2nd level of the Mart. Tip – there is no down escalator inside the Mart outside the CTA turnstiles; take the stairs on the left. Or, LaSalle #156 bus stops one block east.
Handicap accessible – yes, DIRTT is accessible.
Printed tickets – no need to print out tickets. Provide your name, and guest name(s), with your ticket purchase and we’ll have it on the list at the door.
Refunds – if you find you can’t make the event after purchasing tix, email info@IllinoisScience.org and we’ll work something out.
This is a 21+ event.
Sponsors - the bar for the festivities is being sponsored by Metropolitan Brewery and Frederick Wildman & Sons Wine Merchants. And delicious sushi from Tank Sushi. Huge thanks to them!
