We can play six (or even one or two) degrees of separation all day with Google and enough time. They're all blind shots in the dark. I don't think the Chicago move has anything to do with Hewitt and a loose trail of connections doesn't convince me otherwise.
FWIW, the 311 South Wacker office of Hewitt is far closer to the InterContinental Chicago than the Lincolnshire office. It's about a $5 cab ride. As is the 120 S. Riverside office.
Of course the Newport Beach or San Francisco offices of Hewitt are far closer to PTSC so going by that logic, the meeting never would have moved.
