Chicago Meeting Professionals Guide 2008 - (Page 31) A W E A LT H O F C H O I C E S McCormick Place is the leader in the convention and tradeshow industry, with the largest and most flexible exhibition space in North America. In 2007, the McCormick Place West Building, designed expressly for meetings with exhibitions, was added to the McCormick Place campus. It will join Lakeside Center, McCormick Place North and McCormick Place South to maintain McCormick Place as the premier convention and exhibition center in the country. Navy Pier constantly delights attendees with its beautiful setting and modern meeting facilities. A fantastic choice for midsize meetings that have outgrown hotels, as well as special events for up to 5,000 guests, Navy Pier also features restaurant, shopping and entertainment choices — in a setting like no other. It’s easy to see why Navy Pier is the number one tourist and leisure destination in the Midwest. Perhaps because it is such a unique and entertaining tourist destination, Navy Pier offers a wealth of features for distinctive events. Views overlooking both Lake Michigan and the city skyline only enhance the already-extraordinary meeting facilities. Crystal Gardens, for example, is a one-acre indoor palm court with a six-story glass atrium, dancing fountains and 70 palm trees. At the far end of Navy Pier is the beautiful Grand Ballroom and its grand, panoramic vistas. sc ©O i ar E g nzi Chicago is the perfect destination for any event, from the largest tradeshows to educational conferences.
