This year marks our first year at the amazing Grizzly Jack's Grand Bear Resort in Utica, IL. Located across the street from Starved Rock State Park, popularly considered the most beautiful natural area in Illinois, Grand Bear offers wonderful amenities and plenty of activities to enjoy, either for yourself or for non-gaming family you bring along. These amenities include an indoor water park (free with your room rental), spa, restaurant, bar, bakery, pavilion, and much more. There are a number of dining areas outside the hotel as well.

The best part is Grand Bear offers attendees to the D8 Summit a discounted rate during the convention. When contacting the front desk, ask for the group rate for the D8 Summit to take advantage of these savings.
