New to the Show?

We know that your time is limited. Stop waiting in long cab lines trying to get to your next appointment and over paying for hotel rooms. Hundreds of buyers from across the country have found a better way. 

The Chicago Collective is the obvious answer to most all of the things you dread about going to the other shows: 

  • Cabs at your disposal in front of the building.
  • Reasonably priced high quality hotels within walking distance.
  • Buying is accomplished on one show floor. 
  • Had fun in the process. 

The Chicago Collective has grown significantly over the past several seasons. The show now spans over 100,000 square feet and features over 300 of the finest mens wear exhibitors as well as an incredible array of contemporary apparel and accessories.  

Our show does not take place in a cavernous convention hall, a dimly lit ballroom or a hotel room. Instead, you will have the opportunity to shop in an intimate upscale environment. Expect to have a unique trade show experience while getting your buying done and enjoying the process.
