McCormick Place Convention Reform Law Passed

CHICAGO—The Illinois General Assembly overrode Gov. Pat Quinn's amendatory veto and pushed into law a reform package for McCormick Place that will make the venerable home of Graph Expo and PRINT more competitive with convention centers across the country and more viable to the businesses that exhibit there. The measure reforms labor rules, establishes exhibitor rights and realigns McCormick Place operations with its major competitors in the convention and trade show circuit.
