DHI ConNextions 2026 was held at Hyatt Regency Chicago, Riverside Center, 151 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601.
Door security and safety professionals, architects, and code professionals were the audience described by the organizer, within the non-residential door and hardware industry.
It was most useful for door and hardware specialists, architects and code professionals who needed continuing education, since more than 20 courses carried AIA and ICC credit, including six AIA HSW-approved ones. The $100 to $150 range was for the exhibit-hall pass, which excluded sessions, so it worked as a low-cost way to see products and meet suppliers; people outside non-residential openings would have gotten little from it, and non-exhibiting manufacturers could not register as attendees.
Attendees at building-products and architectural trade events usually wear business casual, such as polos or collared shirts and slacks, with comfortable shoes for the exhibit hall. Chicago in late October can be cool, so a light jacket helped.
