RECAP: SMACNAPALOOZA Builds Industry Connections in 2026

More than 100 SMACNA Greater Chicago members and 14 exhibitors packed Joe’s Live in Rosemont for Industry Night 2026. It was an excellent evening of networking, cocktails, good food and fun!

In addition to the always popular Industry Night cookies, this year we added some really cool SMACNAPALOOZA Industry Night t-shirts to the freebies table for attendees and exhibitors — a great way to commemorate one of SMACNA Greater Chicago’s most popular events.

A big thank you to everyone who came out to this year’s Industry Night and made it so special!
