Chicago Auto Show Returns to Midwinter Timeframe with February 2022 Show Dates
Seven months after the pandemic forced rescheduling to summer, the Chicago Auto Show is returning to McCormick Place this winter, with show dates slated for Feb. 12-21, 2022. The shift back to the traditional timeframe follows the indoor/outdoor event held this past July after the February show was canceled due to the pandemic.
“We’ll still be missing a couple of brands and it’ll be impacted by the inventory shortage, but we’re very hopeful to have another great Chicago Auto Show,” David Sloan, the show’s general manager, told the Chicago Tribune.
The 2020 edition of the auto show was the city’s last major event before the pandemic hit in March of that year. There have been 234 events canceled at McCormick Place since then, costing the city a projected 3.4 million attendees, two million hotel room nights and nearly $3.1 billion in economic impact, a McCormick Place spokeswoman told the Tribune.
