Start your New Year right with the Chicago Construction Expo Jan. 9 to 10, 2007.

There’s still plenty of time to book a spot in the 100,000 sq.-ft. of pillar-fee exhibit space at the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center, a brand new venue that opened in July.

Located off I-90 in northwest suburban Chicago, the hotel is surrounded by picturesque wetlands and is just minutes from upscale dining, shopping and downtown Chicago attractions.

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tues. and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wed., manufacturers, distributors and contractors will meet, greet and take in an eyeful of heavy machinery.

• Great Lakes Equipment Co.

• Loegering Manufacturing Inc.
