Join us for Spark Ignites 2025!

This year’s hottest event features bold flavors, fierce competition and culinary innovation taking center stage.

Free transportation is available if you’re traveling from downtown Chicago. We’re planning to have a shuttle pick up and drop off interested attendees at a convenient location in Chicago’s Loop, proximal to Ogilvie Transportation Center and Union Station.

We recommend staying at the Marriott Courtyard Chicago at Medical District/UIC (625 Ashland Ave., Chicago, IL) or somewhere in/around the Loop for easy access to The Hatchery and downtown Chicago.

When you register, please let us know if you’d like to take advantage of free transportation.

We can’t wait to see you there!
