CooperatorEvents Chicagoland Spring Expo 2027
The CooperatorEvents Chicagoland Spring Expo is on May 19, 2027 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, Illinois. It is a one-day show, open 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with exhibits, seminars and networking all under one roof. The fall Chicagoland show is held separately at Navy Pier in Chicago.
What it is
The expo is run by Yale Robbins, publisher of The Cooperator newspapers, and is aimed at the people who run residential buildings: condo, co-op and HOA board members, property managers, shareholders, apartment building owners and real estate professionals. The organiser lists over 150 exhibitors offering building services, with categories including roofing, painting, property management, masonry contractors, landscaping, access control, security, and energy efficiency and conservation.
