The River North Meeting Place is hosted by The Education Abroad Network (TEAN) team. We are a study abroad organization specializing in the Asia Pacific. Our headquarters are in Chicago and in 2015 we had the opportunity to expand our current office space to include the new conference center and meeting rooms. Our vision for the space was to be able to host events for our company, industry meetings, small conferences, info sessions and other events to help promote international education. We also decided to open to make the conference and meetings rooms available to rent for those outside the education field. As a smaller independent company, prior to opening this space, we found it difficult to book meeting room space in our local area that was both affordable and provided an environment that encouraged learning. Our hope is that we can now provide that option for other local businesses.
