Arriving at McCormick Place
McCormick Place sits at 2301 S Lake Shore Dr in the South Loop, the largest convention center in North America with four buildings linked by skywalks. With over 2.6 million square feet and 173 meeting rooms, the right entrance matters — our chauffeur confirms the hall and gate so executives land at their session, not a half-mile away. The complex draws more than 3 million attendees a year, so curbside traffic is heavy; we time the drop-off and hold nearby. For a venue this vast, a planned arrival point off Lake Shore Drive saves a long walk between the four exhibit halls.
