NMW - Same Place Next Year (Hopefully)

Having the show up for sale doesn't mean you can't plan for the next one. Reed Exhibitions has scheduled NMW 2007 for March 12-15, 2007. The NMW website doesn't mention the location but at this years show a sign stated that it would again be in Rosemont. Fine with me. It is SO conveniently located from O'Hare. Several hotels are only a short walk away. I stayed at the Hotel Sofitel, part of a French chain of hotels. It has free shuttle service to and from the airport. It connects via an elevated walkway so you never have to step foot outside. Rooms are bigger than most downtown hotels. The rate through the NMW travel site was $145/day (whereas the hotel website showed a $270/day rate).  The most pleasant surprise was that the food at the hotel was actually good (see review on TenTravelTips)
