Chicago Build Expo 2026 will turn McCormick Place into a meeting place for professionals from the architecture, engineering and construction sectors on 28th and 29th October 2026. The event is expected to feature 350+ exhibitors, 30,000+ attendees and more than 400 speakers across multiple conference tracks.
Rather than focusing only on an exhibition floor, Chicago Build combines product discovery with a substantial programme of educational and networking activities. The 2026 programme includes AIA CES-approved workshops, an Architect's Hub, conference sessions and dedicated networking events.
The event is particularly relevant for professionals who want to connect different aspects of a construction project from design and engineering through to development and execution. Attendees include architects, contractors, civil engineers, developers, house builders and other construction professionals.
For exhibitors, the event provides a platform to demonstrate products and services directly to an audience involved in construction and design decisions. For visitors, the combination of presentations, project displays and supplier interactions creates several ways to research the market.
For anyone following construction and design developments in the Midwest, Chicago Build Expo 2026 provides a combination of industry education, product exploration and professional networking.
Date: 28th - 29th October 2026
Location: McCormick Place, Chicago
