Sweet Home Chicago

CGI 2026’s Home Base

McCormick Place

The 2026 CLOC Global Institute is held in the West Building of McCormick Place — a modern, light-filled venue designed for comfort, collaboration, and connection. With flexible spaces, incredible amenities, and unmatched accessibility, it’s the perfect backdrop for four days of innovation and community.

Conveniently Located and Easy to Reach

McCormick Place is designed with attendee convenience in mind:

  • Just minutes from downtown Chicago and accessible by major highways
  • Connected to CTA trains and buses, Metra rail, and Amtrak
  • A short trip from both O’Hare and Midway airports, with plenty of transit and shuttle options
  • On-site and nearby parking for those driving in
  • Surrounded by hotels, dining, and attractions — many within walking distance or via pedestrian bridges
