Once again, the Expo was held at the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago.
Created in 2002 as the Historic Chicago Bungalow Expo and expanded in 2006 to include green home renovation resources, this event is continually evolving to meet the changing needs of bungalow owners. Now, more than ever, it is essential to preserve and enjoy our homes. Our goal is to provide beneficial insight and resource for the stabilization of our homes and in turn, our neighborhoods.
More than 1,500 people attended the 2011 Expo and with the help of our wonderful exhibitors and headliners, the event was a success. We look forward to seeing new faces and old friends in future endeavors.
