Chicagokonventio

Chicagokonventio is a fictional annual convention set in Chicago, created for speculative fiction and world-building contexts. It is depicted as a multiday gathering that interrogates the future of cities, combining elements of urban planning, technology, design, and community engagement.

In typical portrayals, participants include urban planners, architects, policymakers, technologists, artists, and community organizers. The program features keynote talks, panel discussions, design charrettes, demonstrations of emerging technologies, and exhibits that highlight affordable housing, transportation, and public space.

Organization and venues are usually described as managed by a coalition of Chicago-based institutions, such as universities, museums, and civic nonprofits, with sponsorships and ticketing supporting logistics. The event is commonly staged at large convention centers or university campuses and surrounding cultural districts.

Narrative uses of Chicagokonventio explore tensions between development and heritage, equity and access, and the role of public institutions in city life. Some works critique the convention as aspirational or elitist, while others present it as a catalyst for real-world collaboration.

The term has appeared in various fictional settings and online role-playing communities and can serve as a prompt for discussion about urban futures. No verified real-world event by this name is documented in public sources.
