McCormick Place reposted this
Ahead of last week's historic #DNC week in our beloved City of Chicago, I was proud to join Choose Chicago Board Chair Glenn Eden, Governor JB Pritzker, Mayor Brandon Johnson, Daniel Thomas of the Illinois Office of Tourism, and Derrick Johnson, Theodis Pace, and Michael Turner of the NAACP to announce that the NAACP National Convention will return to Chicago in July 2026. As the largest convention center in North America, the McCormick Place campus eagerly anticipates welcoming this renowned convention back to our home city, drawing inspiration from the resilience and strength that define Chicago!
