I’m from out of town – where can I stay?
Our event is being hosted at the I-Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign, IL.
Other nearby hotel options are Hilton Garden Inn Champaign-Urbana or Holiday Inn Champaign.
What are the closest airports/how can I get to town?
Champaign is home to Willard Airport (CMI). We are also only 45 minutes from Central Illinois Regional Airport at Bloomington-Normal (BMI), and 2 hours and 31 minutes from Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) or O’Hare International Airport (ORD).
Amtrak runs direct from Chicago to Champaign 3x daily. Once on campus, you can Uber or utilize public buses. A one-way trip on MTD is just $1. You can pay using coins, $1 bills, or the Token Transit app.
If you are interested in carpooling to the event and would like to be connected with others from your area attending, please reach out to psfee2@illinois.edu!
What should I bring to make the day a success?
All booths will have white table covers, but firms are more than welcome to bring their own personalized table cover. Promotional items are welcome, as well as any items your firm typically brings to a career fair.
How can I help the Planning Illini?
Every year at our Career Day, we provide scholarships to financial planning students. If you are interested in making a one-time or ongoing gift to our program, please contact Dr. Craig Lemoine at craiglem@illinois.edu.
How can I connect with students in the classroom?
Our financial planning club is comprised of some of the best and brightest students at the University of Illinois. The club meets bi-weekly, and is looking for great firms to connect with. They hold both live and online meetings and would enjoy working with you! If you are interested in connecting with the financial planning club, please contact them at fpcillinois@gmail.com.
