Make Time for Wellness

Whether you are participating in person or online, it’s important for all attendees to take frequent breaks to stretch and de-stress. While at McCormick Place, take some time to relax and reflect or practice self-guided yoga in the Zen Zone. You can also join a chair yoga class or enjoy one of the many performances in the Discovery Theater. If attending online, step away from your monitor and step outside for a short walk and a breath of fresh air or meditate in a quiet corner of your home or workplace.
