MommyCon Chicago 2020

Update 4/16/20: This event was originally scheduled for March 13-14, 2020 and has been postponed to October 23-24, 2020.

MommyCon Chicago 2020 will take place on October 23-24, 2020 in the South Ballroom of the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.

We bridge education and learning with an interactive exhibitor hall, sessions focused on new parent education and a hands-on approach to testing new products. You will meet leading experts who focus on subjects specific to parenting. Meet with one of our resident educators to try on baby carriers in-person or learn about cloth diapering!

Our mission is to create a community of support, acceptance, and non-judgment for parents journeying through parenthood. We look forward to meeting you soon.

Registration

Show us your ticket on your phone, or as a printout, and we will get you your badge at registration. You can come and go as you please once you have your attendee badge. These badges have space on the front to write in your name and a little bit of info about yourself. We’ve found this is a great way to break the ice and meet other attendees.

Gift Bags

If you have a ticket type that includes a gift bag, you will be given a wristband that you will then trade in when you pick up your bag.
