McCormick Place Convention Center is the largest and most versatile convention venue in North America and is ranked GOLD by the Events Industry Council Sustainable Event Standards. Located along Chicago's stunning lakefront just two miles from the Loop, the campus hosts some of the world's largest and most prestigious conventions, meetings, and trade shows-227 events in 2024 alone, drawing nearly 1.9 million visitors. This activity generated an economic impact of $2.24 billion, including $240.9 million in tax revenue for the City of Chicago and State of Illinois.
The campus features more than 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space, 173 meeting rooms totaling 600,000 square feet, and 6,000 on-site parking spaces. It is also home to the city's largest theater, the 4,192-seat Arie Crown Theater, and the 10,000-seat Wintrust Arena-flexible venues that support dynamic, high-impact attendee experiences.
McCormick Place is strongly committed to DEI, with a leadership team composed of over 50% women and people of color, and a robust M/WBE vendor network. Sustainability efforts include offsetting 100% of electricity with wind energy, operating the Midwest's largest rooftop garden, partnering with an on-site food rescue organization, supporting migratory bird protection, and offering customized sustainability programs for events.
