Macstock’s Venue & Hotel

The Elara Convention Center

at the Holiday Inn Crystal Lake

Macstock VIII will be held at the Elara Convention Center in Crystal Lake, Illinois.

Just 40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, Macstock’s venue is located within the Holiday Inn Crystal Lake, a full-service hotel offering over 20,000 sq ft of function space, a restaurant & bar, and plenty of “hangout” space — including, just off the indoor pool, an outside seating area that overlooks the adjacent Lake Acorn.

The Elara Convention Center offers free WiFi for all Macstock attendees plus plenty of free parking.

Coffee and water will be available and Macstock’s catered lunch Saturday and Sunday will be served just a few steps from the main Macstock conference room.
