2021 National Restaurant Association Show Canceled

National Restaurant Association Show, scheduled for May 22-25, 2021, at McCormick Place in Chicago, has been canceled.

"We appreciate your support, and regret to announce that we must cancel this year’s event due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and current gathering restrictions," according to a statement from the association. "Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the state of Illinois has placed an order in effect until early June limiting gatherings to no more than 50 people. While this order could be modified prior to expiration, McCormick Place has indicated their ability to re-open for large events is currently prohibited by the state regulation and they do not anticipate changes prior to June that would allow an event of our size and scope to occur in May."

The next National Restaurant Association Show will be held May 21-24, 2022.
