McCormick Place Security personnel patrol and monitor facility public areas, parking lots and perimeters. Security staff are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Personnel respond to all incidents and, when requested, will assist persons with disabilities. Weapons are not allowed on McCormick Place Property. In addition, McCormick Place Security Personnel remain in constant communication with designated high-ranking officials from both the Chicago Police Department and Chicago Fire Department as an integral part of the City’s emergency response team.
Badges are required for entry into all Exhibit Halls. Show Management works with an independent security firm, United Security, as well as a security consultant to provide perimeter hall security during move-in, the show and move-out days. With an event the size and scope of PACK EXPO, attendees and exhibitors should make every effort to secure small and/or easily removable items. This includes, but is not limited to, laptops, tablets, cell phones and video projectors. Please always monitor your belongings and do not leave any valuables such as phones, wallets, etc. unattended.
If exhibitors require any additional or special security for booths, it can be ordered through the official security provider listed in the Exhibitor Service Manual.
