How fast can you build a trade show booth in Chicago?

Modular and rental booths can be ready in a few days; full custom builds typically take 4–8 weeks. We also take on last-minute and emergency work with same-day and overnight on-site support.

Are there union labor rules in Chicago?

Yes — Chicago is a strict union-labor market. At McCormick Place, tasks such as material handling, booth installation/dismantle, electrical and rigging are typically performed by union crews under jurisdictional rules, and there are limits on what exhibitor staff may do themselves. We plan your booth around these rules, order labor correctly and supervise on-site so you avoid surprise charges and delays.

Do you handle installation, dismantle and drayage in Chicago?

Yes. We coordinate show paperwork, approved labor and venue procedures for installation and dismantle in Chicago, and work to minimize drayage and material-handling costs.

How much does a Chicago trade show booth cost?

It depends on booth size (10x10, 10x20, 20x20 or island), scope (custom vs. modular rental, graphics, AV, furniture) and the Chicago venue. Share your show and size and we'll send a tailored quote — modular rentals are the most cost-effective option.
