Lebanon, Ohio — May 2026 — Ghent, a leading U.S. manufacturer of visual communication solutions, will mark a milestone year at NeoCon 2026, celebrating 50 years of the company. Attendees are invited to join Ghent on Monday, June 8, in showroom 1094 on the 10th floor of The MART in Chicago for a day of celebrations, product reveals, and signature Cincinnati hospitality.

To support its continued development of innovative solutions for contract interiors, Ghent invites customers, designers, and partners to honor 50 years of manufacturing products that are much more than “just a whiteboard.”

“Reaching 50 years is a moment to reflect on everything Ghent has built: the relationships, the products, and the spaces we’ve helped bring to life,” said Susan Claus, Marketing Director at Ghent. “NeoCon has always been the place where we connect with the people who specify and use our products every day. This year, we wanted our showroom and our campaign to capture that same spirit; what looks like just a whiteboard is really the starting point for something much bigger.”

To commemorate the occasion, Ghent will be hosting a day full of events in their Chicago showroom on June 8.

Morning Mimosas | 9:00 – 10:30 a.m.

Kick off NeoCon Monday with Ghent over a mimosa bar. Stop by early to tour the redesigned showroom and connect with the team before the day gets busy.

Cincinnati Coney Bar | 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Ghent brings a taste of its hometown to Chicago. Guests are invited to enjoy Cincinnati Coneys—the city’s iconic chili-topped hot dogs—straight from the Queen City.

Birthday Happy Hour | 2:00 – 5:00 p.m.

The day’s centerpiece: a birthday celebration marking 50 years of Ghent. Join the team for cake, Prosecco, Cincinnati local beers and hard seltzers, and the specialty cocktail and mocktail created exclusively for the occasion.

“We’ve spent 50 years making products that help people work better together,” Claus added. “NeoCon is our chance to celebrate that with the community that has supported us along the way. We can’t wait to share our new showroom, raise a glass, and show everyone a glimpse of what the next 50 years look like for Ghent.”
