The 2012 Chicago Summit is a meeting of the heads of state and heads of government of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, held in Chicago, Illinois, it lasted from May 20-21, 2012 at the McCormick Place[1]. This is the first time ever that a NATO summit has been held in the United States outside of the Washington, D.C. The event was to happen after the 2012 2012 G8 summit in Chicago, but the G8 summit was later rescheduled to be held at Camp David. Chicago was chosen as the location of the summit because it was President Barack Obama's home town. At least 38 countries around the world came to the summit. After the summit, Chicago's security system was improved[2][3].
