International Exposition Co., the management company that produces the AHR Expo, reports that this year's show is expected to be one of their best yet with more than 1,900 exhibiting companies using over 405,000 square feet of exhibit space. The company expects more than 55,000 visitors to stream through the doors at McCormick Place.
Last year's February show in Orlando set the new record for number of exhibitors with 1,871 companies occupying 372,955 square feet of space. However, Chicago is historically the site of the largest AHR Expos and still holds the record for number of attendees (59,079 including 38,224 visitors) and square footage (400,416).
