Records were broken at 15 events in terms of attendance, and at eight in terms of exhibitors.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>hotels<\/strong> Chicago benefited logically from this influx, with demand up by 4.2%, and an overall occupancy rate of 75.4%, generating some 122 million euros in revenue (140 million dollars).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Choose Chicago<\/strong> confirmed the positive trend in a press release published on Wednesday: \" <em>60 new conventions are already planned for Chicago in the coming years.
