Years ago I went to the IMTS - what used to be called the International Machine Tool Show, but was later renamed the International Manufacturing Technology Show, in Chicago.
Drove across the border, stayed overnight near the Detroit airport, flew out on the earliest flight the next morning. Can't recall what airport I flew into - likely O'Hare. Caught a shuttle right from the airport to the convention center, took my luggage inside and they had an area to leave it while you toured the show. Spent the hole day there, then grabbed the luggage and went to my hotel for the night. Back to the show again the next day, withy luggage again, then near the end of the day took the shuttle back to the aiurport, flew back to Detroit, got in the car and drove 3 hours home.
It was honestly exhausting, but very well organized in Chicago...
