Parking and Directions
Major Parking Changes for 2026!
The Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center and Hotel opened a parking garage in 2026. Therefore, spillover parking has changed. The parking garage has over 900 additional parking spaces.
Important Notes:
- There is no fee to use the parking garage.
- The breezeway from the garage to the hotel is not yet operational and attendees should enter using the ground floor entrance.
- The height limit for the garage is 7’6″. If your vehicle exceeds 7’6,” you must consider alternative parking.
There will be no offsite parking at IKEA and no shuttle service will run from IKEA.
If the lot and garage are full, onsite parking control will direct attendees to the most convenient spillover lot. iLandscape will send out an email each day as soon as the onsite lot is full.
If spillover parking is required, iLandscape has access to an adjacent lot across Thoreau Dr. that cuts in front of the hotel and convention center. It has 300 additional spaces that can be used during the show. PPT Security will be outside to help attendees access that lot if the connected lot becomes full. Please use the stoplight’s crossing signals to cross Thoreau.
Additional offsite parking (Wednesday/Thursday), for this event will be located at Walden (near Finn McCool’s Irish Sports Pub), only 0.9 miles from the Renaissance. Signage from the convention center to this parking area will be in place should directional assistance be required. Shuttles will be available to transport attendees to and from the convention center throughout the day. The Walden spillover lot will not be in use on Friday.
