About Chicago

As the host to more trade shows, conventions and conferences than any other city in the world, Chicago knows how to stage an event. Chicago consistently receives high marks for its accessibility, accommodations and congeniality. It is truly the transportation “hub” of the United States—Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, one of the world’s busiest, offers service to virtually every city of note in the world. In addition, the city sits at the confluence of major interstate highways and railroads.

Once in Chicago, travelers can choose from more than 82,000 hotel rooms, including 39,000 in the downtown “loop.” The city is renowned for its wide variety of restaurants, including legendary steak houses, ethnic fare—and famous meal-in-a-bun hot dogs! And its high profile skyline, along the shores of Lake Michigan, is among the world’s most photographed.
