Custom and rental exhibits for Chicago's biggest shows. We know the venues, the unions, and the logistics, your booth shows up on time, on budget, ready to win the show floor.
Chicago is a major destination on the global trade show calendar. We've delivered booths and rental exhibits to the city's biggest annual events, and we know the venues, the union rules, and the local logistics by heart.
The venues we work with regularly in Chicago:
For each venue, we know the loading dock layout, the truck staging rules, the union jurisdictions, and the in-house show services contractor. That intel saves real money on every build.
For exhibitors with flagship presence at a Chicago show (multiple shows per year, brand-critical visibility), a custom-built exhibit is the right move. You own it, it travels with you across shows, and it ships into Chicago for whichever event matters most each year.
Pricing for custom builds in Chicago runs the same as our North American rates: $15K–$40K for inline, $40K–$90K for islands, $90K+ for double-deck. We design and fabricate in-house, so the Chicago freight cost is the only city-specific add-on.
For one-off shows or first-time Chicago exhibitors, our rental program delivers premium custom-look booths at 30–50% of custom build cost. Turnkey: design, graphics, install, dismantle. You walk into a finished booth.
Most of the rentals we deliver to Chicago get mistaken for custom builds. That's the point. Modular hardware, custom skin.
McCormick Place is the largest convention center in North America by floor space. Drayage is union; we coordinate Teamsters labor. Lakeshore Drive access matters for oversized freight, book trucking 6+ weeks out for IMTS or RSNA.
Why we deliver locally in Chicago: Chicago partner shop for last-minute graphic refreshes and emergency repairs. For RSNA and IMTS repeat clients, between-show storage available at Chicago partner facility.
