Arriving & Departing
Getting to the Show
Destinations Showcase Chicago takes place at The Donald E. Stephens Conference Center in Rosemont, Ill. The area offers an abundance of parking, convenient public transportation options, and easy access from Downtown Chicago, O'Hare International Airport, and neighboring Wisconsin and Indiana via major Interstate routes.
What's more, because registration is free, local meeting professionals can enjoy an entire day of education, exploring new meeting destinations, networking, and a complimentary lunch—for just the cost of transit fare or parking.
