Chicago: The Best Big City in the U.S.
There's a reason Chicago has been voted the Best Big City in the United States for eight years running by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler – there's something for everyone to do. Whether you're a foodie, music lover, museum or art connoisseur, or a sports fan, Chicago has it all.
In addition, Chicago sits on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan and offers many iconic locations, including Navy Pier, Millenium Park, Cloud Gate (aka "The Bean"), and Willis Tower, to name just a few.
We're excited to return to Chicago for the 2025 NFDA International Convention & Expo. If you've visited before, welcome back. If this is your first time, you're sure to be delighted! Enjoy your time in the Windy City and with your fellow funeral service professionals.
Registration opens in June!
