With more than 1 million square feet of the industry's latest cars, trucks and SUVs, four indoor test tracks, interactive displays and cutting-edge technology, countless social media photo opportunities await. Chicago Auto Show organizers are planning a robust social media campaign to encourage fans to share their experiences via platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.

"The Chicago Auto Show is perfectly positioned to harness the power of our crowds due to the show's sheer size, and our social media team takes advantage of this focus group to identify trends that set the stage not just for Chicago, but for the nation," said Chicago Auto Show General Manager David Sloan. "In addition, we offer free hi-speed WiFi across the show floor to make connecting and sharing as easy as possible"
