“Before the meeting, we selected 62 companies to talk

to, we met with all of them and are already in the process of

negotiating with 5 to work on several projects. . . . Some of the

major objectives for attending such annual meetings are to identify companies we want

to do business with, develop/expand business contacts and

receive answers to technical questions. Along these lines,

several companies had the right people in the right place and

stood out.”

Chris Szustkiewicz, MBA, PhDPresident, CK Regulatory & Compliance Associates Inc

Chicago, a Top Destination for the World’s Most Prominent Medical and Scientific Meetings

432 laboratories,136 universities and higher education institutions, and 12 of the top-rated hospitals in the United States make Illinois home to one of the densest concentrations of medical research centers in the country. Chicago, the 3rd largest city in the United States, ranks among the country’s leading centers for medical training, research, health care and referral.

Home to 49 top pharmaceutical and health care companies, Chicago has become a hub for the industry. This critical mass of talent and research driven companies encourages innovation and cross-pollination. Anchoring the corridor are the massive headquarters complexes of three of the area’s largest companies: Baxter International Inc. and Walgreen Co. in Deerfield, and Abbott Laboratories in North Chicago. Their presence helped attract others, such as Hospira Inc., Akorn Inc., and the U.S. arms of Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Astellas Pharma Inc., the largest and second-largest Japanese drugmakers, respectively.

O’Hare and Midway airports are serviced by over 50 different airlines offering more flights in and out of Chicago than any other city in the country making travel to and from the meeting easy for domestic and international participants. And, McCormick Place, the largest exhibition center in North America, has taken measures to make the exhibitor experience easier and more cost effective with the introduction of the new Exhibitor Bill of Rights and some key changes to labor policies and electrical rates.
