Chicago Auto Show Media Credentials are intended only for working media. Credentials are valid Feb. 5 & 6 and during the public show. They are not valid for First Look for Charity. Media wishing to access to the show floor outside of Media Preview must check in with the Chicago Auto Show communications team in the Media Office, room S401.
Corporate executives, exhibitors, and manufacturer public relations personnel should register for Exhibitor Credentials. You can access the Exhibitor section of the website by clicking here.
A valid government-issued photo ID is needed along with your credential to gain access to the show floor. Each request will be verified before approval. Approval is not guaranteed.
The Media Credential Application for the 2026 Chicago Auto Show will open in late November. Please check back.
