We are excited to welcome back exhibitors, attendees, and partners to AXPONA 2023. Our team is committed to creating an event experience where everyone attending can safely conduct business and enjoy the show.

AXPONA will follow all CDC, state, city and building guidelines for our event. We are currently not requiring vaccine checks and/or negative COVID tests. Following, the Cook County Department of Public Health, masks will be recommended but not required.
We ask all exhibitors, attendees and partners to complete a daily self-assessment to ensure you are symptom-free while attending AXPONA. If you feel sick, please stay home.
