In the spring of 2024, the decision was made: Chicago would host the prestigious 2024 Democratic National Convention. This significant event is not only set to showcase Chicago to the nation but is also expected to inject a much-needed economic boost into the city.
Additionally, experts believe it will solidify the Midwest’s “blue wall” in support of President Joe Biden’s re-election bid. The 2024 Democratic National Convention is scheduled to take place from August 19 to 22, 2024, at the renowned United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
The 2024 Democratic National Convention is a highly anticipated presidential nominating convention, where delegates of the United States Democratic Party will gather to select the party’s official nominees for both president and vice president. This pivotal event will play a crucial role in shaping the Democratic Party’s strategy and candidates for the 2024 United States presidential election.
The convention’s schedule is designed to follow the tradition of conducting the Democratic National Convention after the Republican National Convention. The latter is set to take place from July 15 to 18, 2024, and will determine the Republican Party’s nominees for president and vice president.
Below you will find details including all the important dates and information on how to attend the convention, and a schedule of events.

Notably, this comprehensive agreement includes hotel workers for the first time, highlighting the emphasis on inclusivity and cooperation.
The Democratic National Committee, under President Joe Biden, is sending a strong signal that it will rely on union labor for all tasks associated with the convention. In return, the unions have pledged not to picket or cause work stoppages leading up to and during the convention.
Highlighting Moments: Democratic National Convention in Previous Years:
The 2024 Democratic National Convention is part of a long tradition of nominating conventions that have shaped American politics and showcased memorable moments in the party’s history. In 2012, the convention held in Charlotte, North Carolina, nominated President Barack Obama for his second term, emphasizing national unity and the president’s achievements.
The 2016 convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, made history by nominating Hillary Clinton, the first woman for president from a major political party. While it emphasized unity, it also experienced controversy, including protests by Senator Bernie Sanders’ supporters and the release of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee.
The 2020 convention, held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nominated Joe Biden and focused on the need to unite a divided America.
