Registration is live.
If you've been to a previous event expect something very similar. If you haven't been before, check out the 2014 Thread
For those who might be new to Flyertalk. If you're interested in meeting other FTers in smaller groups in different locations throughout the year, FT has a forum called "CommunityBuzz".
This is where people will post get-togethers (often called "DOs"), whether it be something as simple as meeting up for lunch or dinner or as organized as activities over a few days in places like London, Australia, Austin, Alaska, etc. It's a great way to meet other travel-oriented folk, but not in academic or large setting like the seminar event.

For those that are new to Flyertalk & want to keep current with what's happening with the Chicago Seminar Event, in every thread there is a link near the top of the thread that says "Thread Tools". On the drop-down menu is an option to "Subscribe to this Thread". When you subscribe to the thread there's also a drop-down menu where she say how often you want to receive notification of updates to the thread (never, as it happens, weekly, etc) & then you get email notifications of posts to the thread in the timelines you've indicated.
Hotel Shuttle Info
The shuttle leaves the hotel to go to ORD on the hour. It goes from ORD to the hotel on the half hour. You pick it up at ORD at the hotel/shuttle bus stop section @ door #2

Dates of the ORD Seminar Event were announced so folk could put it on the calendar. hdawg said he'd have registration open this month. If it's not yet open it's not like you've lost out on the chance to register.Cheers.

I guarantee the day you forget to ask is the day it'll be out.
But in all seriousness ...
I'm waiting on one piece of information to be confirmed and then registration will be out within the day after that. I was hoping for yesterday or today but its looking more like end of this week, this weekend, or beginning of next week.
If you attended last year I'll be sending out a heads up when registration goes up. If you're new and looking to attend first time this year you'll receive a notice when registration goes live when i update the thread if you've subscribed to notifications.

I've subscribed to the thread & requested as it happens/immediate (although w/ FT immediate might be a bit delayed!). Sure I'll get some email notifications with I want to sign up/how does this work & some stuff asked over & over, but I'll also get email notifications of things that might be important.
Cheers.

When one has to book non-refundable or especially award flights, "putting it on the calendar," doesn't help much.
"... looking like 2nd full week of april it'll open up," was the posting by hdawg. Since the timeline had passed, an update was requested.
