The Schaumburg Convention Center, a key venue in Illinois, is marking 20 years of operations as of July 2026. Since opening in 2006, the center has hosted numerous events, contributing significantly to the local economy.
According to the Village of Schaumburg, the convention center has generated over $1 billion in economic impact over its two decades. Plans are underway for a major expansion to increase meeting space and attract larger conventions.
The center's success is tied to its location near O'Hare International Airport and its partnership with the nearby Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel. Officials highlight the venue's role in boosting tourism and business in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
