NeoCon 2026

Date
June 8–10, 2026 (Preview June 7)
Location
Chicago, IL
Venue
The Mart

Held each June at THE MART in Chicago, NeoCon is the leading event for the commercial design industry in North America. Since 1969, it has brought together top manufacturers and emerging brands to showcase new products across key categories like Furniture, Interior Building Products, Flooring, Fabrics, Finishes, and Technology. The show consistently draws more than 50,000 architects, designers, and end-user decision makers from markets including workplace, healthcare, education, hospitality, and retail.

NeoCon offers Illuminate, a dedicated lighting exhibit that places architectural, decorative, and technical lighting in the spotlight. The curated experience features a range of lighting brands, immersive installations, and expert-led educational programming — all designed to demonstrate the critical role of lighting in the built environment.

With Illuminate a recurring part of the NeoCon experience, the event deepens its value to the lighting community while continuing to be a central platform for innovation and connection across the commercial design world.
