All SC26 hotels are located in downtown Chicago, with thousands of rooms near McCormick Place.
The conference assists exhibitors with largest room block needs and highest points through a special early-request process. Other exhibitors will use the early exhibitor housing reservation process.

Companies holding signed agreements with SC26 will be invited to submit early sleeping room block requests; details will be emailed to the primary exhibitor contact. Sleeping room blocks are allocated according to each company’s accumulated “SC exhibitor priority points.”
For returning exhibitors, you will be limited to the number of rooms your group actualized per night over SC25, with a maximum 10% increase to account for growth. Deadlines and details will be provided to all exhibitors holding a signed agreement with SC26.
The only authorized contractor for arranging hotel rooms for SC is onPeak. To avoid potential problems with your reservation, please be sure to use onPeak.
The conference is not responsible for hotels or rates offered by travel agents or other organizations who say they are speaking on behalf of SC.
