Our host hotel will be the Renaissance Chicago North Shore Hotel, just a short complimentary shuttle ride away.
While experiencing incredible displays of lovely blooms at the remarkable Chicago Botanic Garden, you will be surrounded with people who are as interested in daffodils as you are. Coupling a passion about daffodils with a world-class venue, the 2026 Convention has the makings of a not-to-be-missed event!
