The plumbing-heating-cooling engineering and contractor community knows McCormick Place — downtown Chicago’s massive convention center — very well. Almost once a year, the 2.6 million-square-foot facility is host to at least one industry trade show where members walk the floor learning about the latest and greatest products available for applications.
Frank Paulette knows the ins and outs of McCormick Place even better than the PHC industry. For many years, Paulette — the leader of Valparaiso, Ind.-headquartered Correct Mechanical’s Convention Services Division — has assisted McCormick Place in putting on at least 10 national trade shows per year. Events such as the National Restaurant Association Show and the America’s Beauty Show require hot water on demand in exhibitor booths and Paulette is onsite to make it work.
