Neocon

NeoCon is widely recognized as the premier trade event in North America for commercial interior design and built environments, bringing together the global design community in a dynamic setting in Chicago. Since its founding in 1969, NeoCon has become an essential platform where manufacturers, architects, designers, dealers, facility managers and other industry professionals converge to explore innovation, exchange ideas and discover products that define the future of commercial spaces.

The event features a vast exhibition floor where hundreds of leading and emerging companies unveil thousands of cutting-edge solutions spanning furniture, lighting, textiles, acoustics, flooring, technology and materials. Professionals from a wide range of sectors — including corporate offices, healthcare, education, hospitality, retail and public spaces — attend to evaluate new offerings, benchmark products and identify design strategies that elevate performance, aesthetics and sustainability.

In addition to the exhibition, NeoCon delivers a robust programme of educational sessions and keynote presentations led by respected voices in design, business and innovation. These sessions provide accredited learning opportunities, forward-looking insights and expert analysis on topics such as sustainable design, emerging technologies, human-centred spaces and market trends.

Networking is another core strength of NeoCon, with events and social experiences designed to foster connections between peers, collaborators and decision-makers. Participants benefit from both formal and informal engagement opportunities that support professional growth, connections with industry leaders and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Held annually at an iconic landmark venue in downtown Chicago, NeoCon continues to shape the conversation around design excellence, innovation and the evolving needs of the built environment. It remains a must-attend event for anyone invested in commercial design, specification and the future of interior environments.
