Is Pinball expo still actually scheduled? Just checked out the website and it sounds like it is?? Just curious, as I haven’t heard much talk about it.

Several topics about that already, https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/is-pinball-expo-2020-officially-cancelled-
Probably a go unless the city or state don't allow it.
I believe they have one year left on the hotel contract they have to honor.

Dear Friends of Pinball Expo,
The Governor of Illinois mandated all events of our size to remain closed until the state moves to Phase 5, which includes having a vaccination for Covid-19. Illinois, like many other states, is currently in Phase 4. We knew we had to take matters into our own hands, and we did. In keeping with the tradition of having a yearly show, we are excited to announce that we will be having a free virtual event, to be held October 15th – 17th, 2020. Included will be virtual factory tours, seminars, vendor showcases, and much more! Stay tuned to our website (www.pinballexpo.com), Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for more information.
If you booked your 2020 room through our Pinball Expo block of rooms, the Westin hotel will automatically cancel your reservation and no charges will be applied. If you need to speak to someone at the hotel directly, please call them at 1-847-777-6500. In addition, if you paid for any event packages, tours, seminars, etc. through our website, you will receive a full refund.
We hope you can tune in for what will be a spectacular, action-packed, pinball fest! Thank you for your support and we wish you continued safety and good health.
Sincerely,
Robert Berk and the Pinball Expo Team
