Navy Pier – Aon Grand Ballroom

Part of Navy Pier’s original 1916 architecture, the 18,150-sq-ft Aon Grand Ballroom boasts an 80-ft domed ceiling washed in 3,000 dimmable lights and panoramic views of Lake Michigan . PEAK suspends kinetic LED chandeliers from the built-in light truss, mapping brand palettes that flow into our 9,700-sq-ft balcony LED fascia for 360° storytelling. The permanent house PA ties into our Dante network, while floor ports feed 12G-SDI to an outdoor drone camera for live shoreline cut-ins. With load-in direct from the East End freight door, our crew turns the room between daytime conferences and 1,100-seat banquets in under three hours.
