Conference Location
The Quality Matters Program Conference will be held at the Hyatt Lodge at McDonald’s Campus in Oakbrook, Illinois.  Reserve your stay now at the QM Conference Rate.

Plan on joining us at one of the finest conference centers in the United States.  Enter this once-private retreat to experience an Oak Brook hotel unlike any other. The Hyatt Lodge at McDonald’s Campus offers exemplary amenities in an unparalleled setting and features the renowned event venues of Hamburger University, acres of lush forestry and extensive choices for fun. A new spa, health club, 70-foot lap indoor pool, indoor and outdoor dining options, and cozy fireplaces add the perfect touches to this resort-like hotel, making your stay at The Hyatt Lodge exceptional.

The Marriott Residence Inn has been added to The Quality Matters Program Conference. The Hyatt Lodge is near capacity, though rooms do become available occasionally. The Marriott Residence Inn is approximately one mile from the McDonalds's Corporate Campus and the Hyatt Lodge and will be served by a complimentary shuttle. It is also an easy walk along a golf course. The group rate of $92 plus tax is available until May 10, or until the block is filled, whichever comes first.  Reserve your stay now at the QM Conference Rate.  If you choose to call, 630-571-1200, mention the Quality Matters Conference. 

Who Should Attend?
Attending the conference is a great opportunity for representatives from our subscribing schools and consortia.  Schools planning an expanded QM implementation should consider sending teams of faculty and staff.  There will be ample content for individual attendees to bring back to their schools and we encourage non-subscribers to attend this year’s conference, with a number of presentations designed to answer their questions about QM.
