Great ideas are driven by great experiences and The Thinkubator Innovation Lab (TTIL) can handle, encourage, influence, creative-innovative-thinking. I have attended many, very successful experiences at TTIL. It's a magnet for innovative thinking for any size organization. TTIL's "can-do" innovative space makes for a truly memorable experience. I am both a meeting planner and attendee of hundreds of meetings a year. I been to Fortune 100 board rooms and airplane hangers, garages to hotel rooms, roof tops to cellars, restaurants to drive throughs and nothing comes close to the overall, scalable TTIL. With its reconfigurable space, technology rich, comfortable, spacious layout TTIL is the perfect experience. It's a resource for any meeting that needs to grow new ideas, encourage open thinking, and deliver exceptional results. From the moment attendees arrive the space ignites a passion for new ways to tackle tough challenges. Guests are 'wowed' by its multitude of large video screens, unique furniture, player piano, innovative artifacts, rich interactive environment, and exceptional views of Chicago. TTIL has a passion for innovation that is evident in every detail. Every corner has a new surprise that helps launch a different perspective and a greater sense of focus that can be applied to the tasks at hand. Two bathrooms, full kitchen, multiple meeting areas, movable furniture, and over a dozen video monitors reinforces the fact that this space is optimized for viewing and activities. TTIL encourages ambitious company builders, innovative thinkers, and hungry self starters to spark ideas, create visions, and stimulate audacious and bold concepts, just like the space itself. High ceilings, spiral staircase, huge windows, and a roof deck all contribute to the 'openness' of the thinking encouragement. From the purple walls to the light bulb sculptures to the fireplace everything in TTIL illuminates attendees to 'think' about innovative solutions. The rooms, meals, and service were impeccable. A great variety of snack and refreshments offer 'brain food' for everyone. The space encourages interaction, processes, and results. If Disney is the Happiest Place on Earth then TTIL is the most Innovative Space on Earth. read more

What a place for innovation and creativity! I first visited The Thinkubator over a year ago, and I've been back dozens of times since. It's one of my Favorite Places in Chicago to spend time because of the stimulating experiences I've received there! When you walk in the door and through the purple-walled entrance, you know you're in for an Experience. The Thinkubator opens up into high-ceiling and tall windows, inviting chairs and work areas, with wood fireplace, tons of video screens -- complimented by working brains, light bulb gadgets and special seats (such as a spiral, a question mark and one made in the shape of feet -- yes, they're comfortable). There's also a spiral staircase leading up to and a spectacular rooftop view of Chicago where I've eaten lunch and met with groups. I've twice taken "Accelerating Innovation" workshops at The Thinkubator, where I collaborated with other smart people, figured out specifically how I think and learned how to turn all my creativity into innovative and meaningful solutions! The technology solutions are massive, seemingly endless, and they compliment the learning and facilitation of ideas. The Thinkubator is also a place to meet other smart people. Its owner and founder Gerald Solutionman Haman, is the brightest lightbulb in the place! I've also met dozens of really smart people every time I visit. That's why I keep coming back. So if you're looking for a relaxing and stimulating place to meet other smart people to learn and think about ideas, then have your next Experience at The Thinkubator! The space could be used for events and facilitations for probably up to 50 people or more, with the full kitchen, dining area with catered local foods, and quite helpful and friendly event, facilitation and technology staff. There are also breakout areas such as a loft overlooking the space and side rooms including a "Solutionarium" with S-shaped and conference table -- which doubles as a broadcast area for Gerald's many online webinars. It's fun, relaxing, stimulating and a great place to get away and think about your next project or the direction for your company's mission. Very highly recommended! read more

This is the perfect place to challenge to go to have your mind challenged and add more ways to analyze and solve problems. I went in to the Thinkubator not sure what to expect and was immediately impressed with Geralds creativity, approach and passion to help others. I loved it and look forward to sending my employees to the workshops. The sooner my employees figure out better and more efficient ways to solve problems, the quicker myself and my company gets better and more profitable. Thanks Gerald. 5 STARS! read more

I've been to the Thinkubator many times. It's not just a great space it's a great environment. The space affords such great flexibility in that it's never the same arrangement twice. Perfect as I've been to the TIS for many different types of events and the flexible nature accommodated each type of event very well. The space is spacious yet has a very warm and inviting environment . The skyline views are terrific and if the you want to get the best view, the roof top deck is the way to go. The food was terrific. I'm used to "event" food but here it was all top notch. Very refreshing. It's obvious that a great amount of thinking has gone into creating a wonderful environment to work and learn. The staff was absolutely terrific and they work in and out of the attendees without being or creating a distraction. Another plus as I distractions take away from my task at hand. AV can be another problematic area. Here they have very cleverly put monitors all around the exterior and interior of the space so no matter where you sat, stood or worked, you could easily follow materials on screen. The sound is particularly good in such a large and diverse space which makes it easier to stay focused. It's the best work-event space I've been in because the culmination of the space, furnishings, staff, AV, and views make it an enjoyable experience and you leave feeling refreshed and energized and not like you spent 2 days in a hotel ballroom.. read more
