A leading hospitality company that aims to redefine what a “workday” actually looks like, Convene was built on a very simple idea: The company wanted to see what would happen if it ran an office building like a hotel — and they created the entire Convene brand around this unique concept.
Accordingly, Convene’s main goal is to offer a full-service, premium solution that will transform one’s plain workday into a memorable experience with the help of beautifully designed, tech-focused meeting, event and workplace locations. In fact, Convene’s CEO and co-founder made it his life’s mission to offer spaces that inspire people to do their best work in a sleek, elegant environment with everything at hand. The company was established in 2009 and has been evolving ever since. It currently has 23 locations in six cities with more than 500 employees and more than 30,000 events hosted so far.
Convene’s Willis Tower location is one of its largest spaces, featuring 90,000 square feet of meeting and event areas at 233 S. Wacker Drive. Situated between West Adams and West Jackson streets in the Loop, the iconic building is just a stone’s throw away from the L train, subway lines, bus stations and plenty of parking options. The company has also teamed up with several nearby hotels from the Hilton and Marriott chains to make sure that all Convene guests are taken care of around the clock.
Here, tech-enabled and hospitality-forward flexible workspaces are available to Convene members, boasting premium amenities that include: on-site culinary services, enterprise-grade technology, unlimited snacks and beverages, and access to the office management staff and Eden health memberships. Meanwhile, those interested in renting out meeting rooms will find curated spaces that come with top-notch technology, five-star services, dedicated on-site support and other perks to make a long-lasting impression on attendees. Or, virtual event packages with a professional platform, premium production quality and a dedicated team of experts can help you host events for up to 10,000 people. Convene is definitely the ideal choice for anyone looking for high-level services in one of the most in-demand locations in the Windy City.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
While storage in coworking spaces is generally limited, and mostly reserved for members with dedicated desks or private offices, you should always check with the coworking operator about additional storage solutions. Fill out the form on the right side of the page to reach out to them and learn all about the available options.
-
233 South Wacker Drive operates during regular business hours, which are listed above. For any requests or requirements outside of these hours, please contact the coworking operator directly.
-
Most coworking space amenities are open to all members, regardless of the membership plan. Meeting rooms require prior reservation, and private offices are exclusively available to those with subscription packages. However, the lounge, kitchen, and breakout spaces are open to everyone. Complimentary amenities are also available to all, while ancillary services can be purchased or negotiated individually with Convene.
-
Open desks may be the ideal choice if you thrive in a collaborative environment and value the opportunity to connect with fellow coworkers. Dedicated desks, on the other hand, provide a designated space with shared community amenities, catering to those who seek a balance between privacy and interaction.
For ultimate focus and private interactions, private offices are best for solo individuals and teams that seek uninterrupted productivity.
Selecting the most suitable workspace for you typically hinges on your work style and preferences, but it can also be determined by the type of work that you do, its duration, and whether you work alone or in a team.
-
Flexibility is the cornerstone of coworking, so you always have the option to adjust your workspace to match your current needs. With month-to-month memberships, you can effortlessly upgrade, downgrade, or even switch between different coworking plans.
While the standard practice is to change memberships only once the current one ends, Convene may be able to offer additional options, so it’s best to reach out to their staff directly.
