Exhibitor - Parking and Directions

View of the South Building from the south

Getting to McCormick Place is easy and convenient. There are two main parking lots on the McCormick Place campus. Both are in close proximity and walking distance to our convention complex. Events in Lakeside Center and Arie Crown Theater designate Lot C as the primary parking location, while events in the North, South and West Buildings designate Lot A garage as the primary parking location.

A limited number of guaranteed parking spaces are available at the rate of $23.75 per day to exhibitors by advance order of an Exhibitor Parking Permit. This permit allows access to the garages with in-and-out privileges. Parking spaces are guaranteed even if lots fill to capacity. Parking fees can be paid by check or credit card; VISA, MasterCard and American Express are accepted.
