Serving those most vulnerable, the Center’s record of helping families gain independence far exceeds the national average. Primo Center is the highest-performing service provider for families in Chicago, consistently placing more than 97% in permanent housing with only a 3% rate of return to homelessness. Today, Primo Center is Chicago's largest provider of services and shelter for homeless children and their families. Primo Center provides 330 beds of interim housing on the south and west sides and 28 beds of Permanent Supportive Housing for families on the northwest side. We also provide an array of wrap-around services and support programs.

The SEO Conference will take place at The iO Theater located at 1501 N Kingsbury St, Chicago, IL 60642 on June 6th.

Getting There:

  • Train - The North/Clybourn station is just around the corner that is on the Red Line.
  • Bus - - The North/Clybourn station is just around the corner. There are also additional stops on W North Ave and N Halsted St nearby.

Don't live in Chicago? Feel free to train, bike, car or fly on over as you likely aren't that far away. Think of us as your Half Day Midwest SEO Conference!

  • St. Louis SEO Conference - Depending on which side of the river assume 300 miles, but we have people coming from half way there to speak!
  • Milwaukee SEO Conference - About 90 miles door to door if you drive but likely less if you take the train down to Chicago.
  • indianapolis SEO Conference - 185 miles up I-65 and you are here! Pending construction you likely can do it in ~3 hours.
  • Detroit SEO Conference - You are closer than St. Louis and just over 4 hours away. The more Detroit people we have the better Ryan will feel about being in Chicago.
  • Chicago Suburbs - well it really depends on the time of day and weather. So anywhere from 25 minutes to 2 hours.

It will be in Chicago at The iO Theater which is located at 1501 N Kingsbury St, Chicago, IL 60642.

The Chicago SEO conference will take place on June, 6, 2024 in Chicago.

As speakers for the Chicago SEO Conference are confirmed we will add them to the site.
