While other shows focused on becoming bigger each season, the Chicago Collective has, instead, strived to be better each season. Our commitment has obviously paid off. Over the past two years the Chicago Collective has emerged as the premier show for better men's apparel stores in North America. No small task. Our store attendance from across the country continues to grow each show (up over 50% since 2002) and our exhibit space sells out each season.

The Chicago Collective currently has approximately 300 exhibitors and 1,000 lines covering over 60,000 square feet. Our shows are produced specifically to meet the needs of today's specialty store buyers. We offer incredible amenities, buyer programs and events. Think of a show that is civilized, inspiring, relaxed, even enjoyable to attend.

Exhibitors will experience a clean, comfortable state-of-the-art exhibit space that includes a free equipment package, hard-walls, lighting, wireless internet access and more. This is not a pipe-and-drape show.

All of our participating partner hotels offer great discounted rates and are located close to the show. Get a cab back to your hotel without waiting in line, or better yet take a free trolley ride to and from your hotel. It's that easy.

So let the impersonal, homogenized discounters, department stores and chain stores shop the big impersonal homogenized shows. You have a much better alternative: The Chicago Collective.
