With stunning architecture, 40 world-class museums, over 200 theaters and more than 200 independent art galleries, and over 7000 restaurants serving award-winning food, Chicago is a great place to hold our CME Conferences and to experience the culture, cuisine and history.

Chicago is one of the most multi-cultural cities in the US. For a little taste of that international vibe, you can hop on the el and spend the day exploring neighborhoods like Greektown, Chinatown, Little Italy and Pilsen or sample cuisine from any one of dozens of cultures like Thai, German, Vietnamese, Korean, Ethiopian, West African, Swedish, and others. Chicago also hosts several international festivals throughout the summer, celebrating different cultures. There’s an Irish-American heritage festival, a Turkish festival, a Greek festival, and many more.

While many independent travelers will find the strictures of 'cruise life’ a bit stifling, there are plenty of reasons to take a Continuing Medical Education (CME)cruise to Alaskan, namely the two ‘Cs’: comfort and convenience. And in Alaska, a state that could take months, if not years, to thoroughly explore, you get a chance to see many of the top sights in one convenient, all-inclusive package.

While at sea you will enjoy the luxury and comfort of the sleek Celebrity Solstice. Relax on deck and spot bald eagles hunting, humpback whales breaching and glaciers calving: not a bad little bit of sight-seeing.
You will also get a chance to disembark in ports where you can bop around town, take in a hike or an excursion, or even a longer trip inland. CME does not get better than this! Please note: Continuin Medical Education program sessions are scheduled when the cruise ship is at sea and not docked at port.

MCE Conferences Continuing Medical Education (CME) is committed to creating a healthy and sustainable environment. Our “Green CME” initiative will pursue and utilize practices that will use less energy and natural resources. Use none, use less, and reuse is our philosophy.

By offering and utilizing “green” alternatives, we will be helping to protect our natural resources. Some of the current ecological practices that we have in place for our continuing medical education programs are as follows:

- Using a USB Drive to hold paper intensive educational materials
- Creating websites and e-mail blasts in place of printing brochures or postcards
- Reusing signage, if possible, from year to year
- Encouraging the recycling of name badge holders, lanyards, and writing utensils after a meeting has adjourned
- Using recycled copy and printer paper

MCE Conferences CME encourages you to support our “Green CME” movement by taking advantage of our responsible and eco-friendly practices and resources. We also welcome all suggestions and ideas that you have regarding new or alternative ways in which we can embrace the “Green” movement.
