Catalyst Ranch was the first venue in Chicago to realize that the results of any offsite meeting can be enhanced if attendees are placed in the right environment. In 2002 we started with the concept of what our own ideal working environment would be and then coupled with extensive research, experience and pure gut instinct, created a pioneering and innovative boutique conference center in Chicago’s burgeoning West Loop. We broke some rules, no doubt about that!
We found it takes more than a utilitarian room, some tables and chairs, notepads, pens and A/V equipment to hold an effective meeting. We refused to believe that only Creatives should be allowed to work in non-businesslike, fun, eclectic spaces. Everyone can be more productive if the conditions are optimized. Our many loyal clients have proven us right.

Our meeting was outstanding, largely due to Catalyst Ranch and the incandescently wild and creative vibe that permeates the place.
Your staff took very good care of us; the room was equipped with everything we might possibly need, plus
Play Doh and pipe cleaners and silly hats. It could not have gone better and we loved it there. I was
thanked by every attendee for the space, so let me pass that on, since all I did was make the call, and
you had it all there for us.
