International Home and Housewares Show to change venue
The International Home and Housewares Show has been a Chicago mainstay for more than 70 years. Organisers are currently assessing whether the trade show will remain at the McCormick Place convention centre or move to rival venues in Orlando or Las Vegas.

The show attracts around 60,000 visitors and generates $75m in spending. The 2010 show will be held March 14-16, with the McCormick Centre booked until 2012.

Having attended and exhibited at shows in all 3 venues, I hope that the IHA continue to run the show in Chicago.
The adult playground that is Las Vegas, obviously holds some attraction above Mickey's home turf but the costs of exhibiting at both alternative venues are now on a par with Chicago.
If it has to move, why not let it rotate around the 3 venues to provide a "close to home" show for different US exhibitors and visitors every third year?
