Locations/Chicago
Custom booths, double-decks and rentals for Chicagoland trade shows, conferences and activations, sized for the biggest halls in the Midwest, with our supervisors directing the union crews.
Chicagoland packs some of the biggest exhibit floors in the country into one metro area, and we've built for shows across it, from the lakefront to O'Hare.
The halls on the Near South Side, the convention center in Rosemont and the suburban expo halls out in Schaumburg each run their own docks, ceilings and move-in rules. We plan every booth for the building it will stand in, whether it is a 10x10 inline or a 50x50 island.
Design and fabrication stay in-house, and each booth is put together in full before it is crated and delivered on your move-in date. Our supervisors meet it on the floor to direct the union crews, and when the show closes we dismantle it and keep it in our warehouse until your next date.
We learn your show, your goals and your floor plan, then work back from your Chicago move-in date to set the build schedule.
Enter DiscoveryRenders and a 3D fly-through you can revise until it is right, with drawings prepared for the venue and your show to approve.
Enter DesignBuilt, wired and fully test-assembled in-house, so nothing gets figured out on a Chicago loading dock.
Enter FabricationDelivered on your move-in date and assembled with our supervisors directing the venue's union crews, from the first crate to the final walkthrough and the dismantle.
Enter Install & On-SiteCrated and stored in our warehouse after the show, where we check every panel and keep it ready for your next Chicago date.

and many more
Inline, peninsula and island exhibits sized for big halls, with structure, lighting and hanging signs that read across a wide floor.
Explore Custom Booths
A second level for meetings and hospitality, engineered and test-built in-house, with drawings filed for approval well before move-in.
Explore Double-Deck Booths
One booth that reconfigures for each show on your calendar, so a Chicago island and a regional inline can share the same kit.
Explore Modular Booths
A booth built to your brand without owning one. We design, build and store it, and deliver it for each Chicago date.
Explore Custom RentalsBook at least two months before your show. That leaves room for venue approvals, a full test build and a delivery timed to your move-in date.
Discovery call: goals, floor space and budget. First concepts and 3D renders.
Design signed off. Venue drawings, insurance certificates and labor plans started.
Fabrication, graphics and AV, a full in-house test build, then crated for delivery.
Delivered to the advance warehouse or direct to the venue on your move-in date, and installed with our supervisors directing the union crews.
Dismantled, crated and stored in our warehouse, ready for your next date.
Tight timeline? Talk to us anyway, and we'll tell you what's still possible.
Every panel, cable and graphic is checked during a full trial assembly and packed in labeled crates, so the union crews work from a plan instead of guesswork.
McCormick Place does not accept freight before your move-in date. We send it to the advance warehouse or schedule direct delivery, whichever your schedule needs.
At McCormick Place, an exhibitor's own full-time staff may set up their booth, but that right doesn't pass to outside contractors. Our supervisors direct the union crews, and we tell you early which work your team can take on.
Chicago events also land on the pier, in arenas and at the ballparks. We scale the build to the space, from a convention floor to a branded activation.
A lakefront exhibit hall, a convention center by the airport and a suburban expo hall each have their own ceilings and docks. We plan the structure and the load-in around the building your show is in.
A few recent case studies, from first concept to the show floor.
