The restaurant show and the manufacturing technology show, two mainstays at McCormick Place, are extending their commitment to the convention center.
The annual National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show, a high-profile event, announced a five-year extension, from 2017-2021.
The biennial International Manufacturing Technology Show, the city’s largest, has extended for two years, 2018 and 2020.
The revision of union work rules that allow exhibitors more flexibility in doing their own set-up and tear-down was key to the manufacturing show’s decision, said Peter Eelman, vice president, exhibitions and communications.
