HALAL FOOD

 
With McCormick Place in the heart of Chicago, the greatest and most diverse city in the Midwest, you can find Halal food to fancy your taste buds. McCormick’s world class chefs oversee all the food that is prepared for the event. Our Event coordinators work with their staff to be sure the meat is Halal and clearly visible with signs showing where you can eat Halal food. Have children in the kids or youth programs? All kids in our program up to the young youth will have lunch provided to them.

Please note that during the Knowledge Retreat food options maybe limited due to the Christmas holiday, and that there are no food options in McCormick at that time. However, the City of Chicago still has many restaurants that are still open to serve and deliver to our attendees.

FOOD OPTIONS

Each hotel that is connected to McCormick Convention Center will offer their menus for their restaurants as the time gets closer for the Event.
