We kickoff with a grand welcome to the city that helped build modern America. Chicago is where steel, rail, and sky-high ambition came together - and where the first skyscrapers made vertical transportation essential. For the elevator and escalator industry, this city isn’t just a convention stop. It’s home turf.
Join us for the NAEC Welcome Reception at the newly renovated Hyatt Regency McCormick Place. We’ll celebrate the city that put elevators and escalators on the map. Expect a bold evening: classic Chicago food, craft cocktails, and an atmosphere that mixes industrial history with Midwestern warmth.
Whether you’re catching up with longtime colleagues or building new connections, this is the perfect way to kick off the week. Chicago is ready for you. We’ll see you there.
