Our conference home: The historic Ludington Building

The site of the 2018 LION Summit is the historic Ludington Building, the earliest steel-frame structure still standing in Chicago. The 1891 building was designed by architect William LeBaron Jenney, acknowledged as the “Father of the Skyscraper” due to his developing the fire-proofed metal skeleton-frame system of construction. The eight-story building was one of the first skycrapers entirely clad in terra-cotta.
