Huge place to spend time with families to hang out.

Skyline Ballroom is now second largest in the world

Good place for exhibitions, convensions and conferences

This place is massive. Make sure you have comfortable shoes on otherwise you will have a very unpleasant visit. There will be quite a bit of walking.
The attendees and workers were all very pleasant. The food service establishments could use a helping hand maybe some additions.
All in all, I had a great experience at McCormick's South Building.

McCormick Place is one of the very best convention centers I have been to in USA. It's layout is permissive of very large crowds. And nearby hotels make it an excellent venue for a well integrated multi-day event. Plus, the views (of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan) are breathtaking.

Very confusing place to get around and narrow hallways. Here for the ISTE conference and there are usually 15000+ folks so quite crowded. Do like all the vendor and food court options. Just wish signage was better.

Staff members pointed me in the wrong direction multiple times. Not very knowledgeable about different buildings

The building is as good as it gets for conventions, however the cab lines are long, the buss's are full, and loading/unloading for the shows is always a bit of a pain. Lacking good information on the site of exhibitors, we had to figure everything out the hard way. Its much easier the 2nd time around when you know all the silly hoops that you have to jump thru to get anything done.

South hall is great for size however; isn't as nice as the west hall.

New Security chief is oblivious to the cooperative nature of trade show installation and the need for labor to service exhibitors at THEIR convenience, not his capricious authoritarianism.

Great show area.

No too many good or healthy food choices at site neither around

I attend the Midwest Clinic here every year. There are a lot of sitting areas outside of the convention floor, several restaurants, and a place to check your coat. The neighborhood around is not bad, but definitely not a touristy area.

Beautiful convention center with food and coffee served in the building!

Great convention. A little long walking but spacious. Walking sidewalks would be helpful

Bathrooms need repair. Comfortable meeting rooms. Delicious food.

Huge convention center with great facilities. Parking is convenient. It can get a bit confusing to find the right parking spot because of the size of the facility.

The conference was well organized, the busses were very efficient, but the food options seemed to get overwhelmed.

Very nice conference center.

Nice facility, but not in the most convenient part of Chicago.
