Every June, thousands flock to Chicago for NeoCon – North America’s most influential event for the commercial design industry. But when the showroom lights dim and The Mart begins to quiet down, there’s one event Monday night that keeps the energy going: My Resource Library’s legendary AfterHours Party.

Hosted annually with the Charter Members of the North American Independent Rep Council (NAIRC), this high-energy celebration isn’t just a party – it’s THE party. The one you’ll hear about in every elevator ride, showroom corner, and coffee line on Tuesday.

For MRL, NeoCon AfterHours is more than a night of music, mingling, and memorable moments. It’s an expression of the brand’s mission: to connect the commercial interiors industry through shared experiences. Since its inception, MRL has redefined how we interact with product libraries and manufacturer resources. But what truly sets them apart is how they bring the people of this industry together – digitally, and in real life.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, there’s an undeniable buzz in the air. Maybe it’s the music, the venue, or the sheer excitement of seeing so many familiar faces in one place. But ask anyone who’s been, and they’ll tell you: this party is where the real magic of NeoCon happens.

So if you’re headed to Chicago for NeoCon, here’s your reminder: don’t just plan for the show – plan for the AfterHours. Because when the industry’s go-to digital platform throws its biggest in-person celebration, you don’t want to be anywhere else.
