Exhibiting in Chicago Suburbs

Donald E. Stephens Convention Center is now neighbors with a entertainment mega-plex venue.  Within walking distance of the Convention Center is a 18 screen, luxury, themed movie and entertainment complex.

“Our convention center is perhaps the only municipally-owned facility of its kind in the nation to return revenues without any subsidies,” said Rosemont Mayor Bradley A. Stephens. “In order to keep this center profitable, we want to offer as much added value as possible to tradeshow managers, meeting planners, exhibitors and delegates alike.Another great reason to continue exhibiting in the Chicago Suburbs, at the end of the day, when you are finished walking the exhibit hall, and the convention center doors close.  There are several choices of entertainment at the new state of the art complex and with the variety of restaurants, you don’t have to rely on that “trade show food” any longer.  Entertaining your trade show clients, just got a step closer to the convention center.

The theme of Muvico’s Rosemont Megaplex is the “Golden Age of Movie-Making.” The facility features:

• Luxury and roomy stadium seating with phenomenal sightlines – the chairs are 24” wide with reclining seatbacks and 46″ of legroom, leaving plenty of space for people to walk through the rows;
• the Children’s Playroom – an on-site interactive room where movie-going parents may leave children for ages 3 – 11 in a safe, secure area with a computer zone;
• a game room;
• a full service restaurant and bar;
• the Gallery – reserved for those 21 years of age and older, this is a second level, VIP, premier seating space (featuring plush, overstuffed love seats), a separate VIP entrance with valet parking and all-you-can-eat popcorn;
• Dolby sound and state-of-the-science motion picture technology;
• Muvico Theaters’ expanded concession menu with its signature Hot Spot Grill, featuring items such as chicken fingers, quesadillas, popcorn shrimp, pizza and more.
