NeoCon is North America’s leading trade show for commercial interiors, held every June at The Merchandise Mart in Chicago since it launched in 1969 as the National Exposition of Contract Interior Furnishings. Growing out of the postwar expansion of office design, it now fills the Mart’s showroom floors with hundreds of exhibitors introducing new products across multiple market sectors each year.

NeoCon’s programming centers on workplace, hospitality, healthcare, education and public-space design, pairing exhibitor showrooms with a full schedule of seminars, product launches and design awards recognizing new furniture, textiles and finishes. The show draws designers, architects, facility managers and dealers from across the contract furnishings industry, serving as the sector’s main annual meeting point in North America and a widely watched barometer for trends in commercial interior design.
