Schaumburg to host Pinball Expo Oct. 27-30

Pinball Expo, the longest-running event of its kind in the world, will mark its 37th anniversary Oct. 27-30, at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center.

The event is expected to be the largest in Pinball Expo's history, with more than 60,000 square feet of exhibit space, nearly tripling the amount in recent years.

It will feature pinball vendors, tournaments, seminars, autograph sessions and the opportunity to play pinball games and other classic arcade games and handheld video games.

"We are thrilled to welcome Pinball Expo to the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel," said Heather Larson, president of Meet Chicago Northwest, the official destination marketing organization for Schaumburg and seven other Northwest suburbs. "A one-of-a-kind event, hundreds from all over the world will come for the opportunity to play, compete, and attend seminars from leading pinball designers."
