In our previous Things to Do blog, we discussed the very best places to eat and drink in Rosemont, Illinois. The beauty of h+h americas’ chosen location—the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center—is that it lies in the center of everything in Rosemont. Aside from the copious number of restaurants, pubs, and bars, Rosemont also offers lots of shopping, entertainment, and fun recreational activities.
The world’s premier trade fair for handmade businesses, h+h cologne is coming to North America in 2022! We’re incredibly excited to combine the physical trade fair presence with a digital marketplace for a B2B trade show experience. h+h americas is open to anyone who makes a living in the soft crafts industry. The show will unite the fiber arts community and ignite the Chicagoland area each June, starting in 2022.
Dining and Drinks: the best Rosemont, IL has to offer! We chose Rosemont, Illinois, for the first h+h americas for a very good reason. Not only is it a short 5-minute jaunt to Chicago O’Hare International Airport, but its convention center—the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center—lies in the heart of a shopping, dining, and entertainment mecca.
