Daley wants to privatize McCormick Place

Crain's Chicago Business reports:
The Healthcare Information & Management Systems Society announced in November it was taking its 2012 event to Las Vegas, and the Society of the Plastics Industry Inc. also decided that month to move its 2012 and 2015 events to Orlando, Fla.

Both groups cited the high costs of doing business in the city and contending with strict work rules at the convention center.
