**As with any large city, know your surroundings and do not travel to places in which you are not familiar. We have hundreds of photo and video locations within a 5-10 minute walk in the surrounding area of the hotel. The area we are in is a tourist area and is heavily policed and safe. Please check out our recommended shooting locations on our site for great opportunities and portfolio building. Travel in groups.
**Note that indoor locations are all private property and considered trespassing. If you do not see an indoor location listed above do not photograph with a model inside. Chicago hotels do not like photographers inside their property without permission. Any landings or balconies attached to buildings are also considered private property.
**Shooting with models is not allowed in private hotel rooms.
**Photographing anyone under the age of 18 is not permitted without the child’s guardian.
**If you are questioned by Chicago Police or security please keep your “letter of Intent” handy to show them on your phone. This letter will be emailed to participants 30 days prior to the show.
**As with any large city theft will always be a problem. You hear about these instances at ALL conferences. Travel in groups and keep your items with you at all times. Think Tank has an incredible bag with cable locks (Airport series). This is a great way to be able to set your bag down and cable lock it near by. If you do not have this option we suggest find a way to do this. This is a great concept for any and all conferences that you travel to! ClickCon nor PROCAM will be responsible for any stolen or lost items.
