Brand-new this year, we’re thrilled
to introduce our #CAS18 BUZZHUB – located just off of

Cars.com. This new social space is designed for social
media engagement featuring a 21-ft. wall broadcasting
real-time trending feeds, giant #CAS18 block letters for
pose-worthy moments, enlarged Instagram frame and
charging stations to refuel attendees’ smartphones.
The new #CAS18 BUZZHUB is also home to live radio
broadcasts and Best of Show voting kiosks.
Show organizers have also teamed up with ABC 7
Chicago to host Facebook Live events near the area,
anchored by Chicagoland’s favorite on-air talent,
including Jim Rose and
Roz Varon. Come out and
meet your favorite ABC 7
Eyewitness News anchors,
reporters, meteorologists
andWindy City LIVE hosts.
They’ll sign a photo or, better yet, take a selfie with
you at the ABC 7 Chicago anchor desk. View the full
