We coordinate multi-day shuttle programs from hotels throughout downtown Chicago, ensuring attendees arrive and depart on schedule throughout the convention. Corporate billing and consolidated invoicing are available. ## Charter Bus to McCormick Place: Group Transportation to North America's Largest Convention Center McCormick Place's 2.6 million square feet of event space makes it the largest convention center in North America by total area — a distinction that brings hundreds of the country's most important industry trade shows, professional conferences, and corporate summits to Chicago's lakefront campus each year. For groups attending events at McCormick Place from Michigan, Holiday Coach Company provides the professional group transportation that corporate and organizational travel demands. The drive from Grand Rapids to Chicago runs approximately 3 hours; from Detroit, approximately 5 hours. Our motorcoaches are the rational choice for groups of 16 or more attending multi-day convention programs — parking near McCormick Place is expensive and limited, and the ability to keep your group together from hotel to convention to dinner to hotel is a significant operational advantage that individual vehicle travel cannot replicate. ## Major Events at McCormick Place: IMTS, the Auto Show, and the Convention Calendar McCormick Place's annual event calendar reads like a directory of American industry's most important gatherings. The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), held every two years in September, is one of the world's largest industrial trade shows — drawing over 90,000 attendees from 117 countries. The Chicago Auto Show, held every February, is the largest auto show in North America. Fabtech — the premier metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing event — occupies McCormick Place every autumn. The National Restaurant Association Show, the American Dental Association Annual Meeting, and dozens of other major professional events establish McCormick Place as the single most important convention venue in the United States for industries ranging from healthcare to hospitality to high technology. Holiday Coach coordinates transportation for organizations attending all of these events annually. ## Multi-Day Convention Transportation: How Holiday Coach Manages Complex Programs Corporate groups attending multi-day conventions at McCormick Place have complex transportation needs that Holiday Coach manages as a unified program. The typical structure involves: airport group transfers from O'Hare or Midway, where we stage coaches in advance and monitor arrivals; daily hotel-to-convention-center shuttle loops running on timed schedules; evening transfers to group dinners in the West Loop, River North, or other Chicago dining districts; and airport departure transfers at the convention's conclusion. Holiday Coach coordinates this entire program under a single account, with consolidated daily billing, one point of contact, and dispatch support across every vehicle and every movement. Corporate procurement teams receive all documentation required for purchase order processing, vendor registration, and expense reporting. We provide Certificates of Insurance named to any required parties. ## Chicago Beyond McCormick Place: Making Convention Travel More Than Just Business Chicago's extraordinary concentration of world-class cultural, culinary, and entertainment attractions makes any McCormick Place convention trip an opportunity to experience one of America's great cities. The Museum Campus — home of the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium — is walkable from McCormick Place. The Magnificent Mile, Chicago's premier shopping and dining boulevard, is 15 minutes from the convention center by motor coach. For corporate groups with entertainment evenings built into their convention program, Holiday Coach coordinates dining tours, architectural boat tours on the Chicago River, Cubs or White Sox games, and any other Chicago experience that builds the group's engagement. Contact us early for convention week transportation programs — major show weeks like IMTS book our Chicago-capable fleet entirely months in advance.
