McCormick Place is the largest US convention center (2.6M sqft exhibit space) — RSNA, NRA Annual, IMTS, Pack Expo, and IPPE anchor the Midwest calendar. Atroq crates the build in LA or Orlando, ships it to McCormick, and our own install team runs the dock-to-aisle I&D. We know the Teamster and IATSE jurisdictions cold because our people handle them — no subcontractor in the middle.
All-in pricing for every Chicago trade show. Union I&D, drayage, dismantle — all covered.
The standard inline booth — 10 feet wide, 10 feet deep. Ideal for first-time exhibitors, single-product demos, and tight marketing budgets. Fits backlit graphics, one monitor, a counter with storage, and 2 staff comfortably.
From $4,800 →Double the inline footprint. Room for a demo station, a private meeting area, and a larger backwall. Most companies upgrade to 10×20 the second year — it keeps the same aisle position with twice the presence.
From $9,400 →Open on all four sides — a true trade show centerpiece. Perfect for product launches, multi-stakeholder engagement, and brands that need to dominate a show floor. Hanging sign included.
From $22,500 →50% more floor space than a 20×20 — room for a full conference corner, multiple product zones, and branded seating. Ideal for companies running 3+ concurrent demos or hosting press/analyst meetings on-floor.
From $38,000 →A booth open on three sides, backing up to another booth or a wall. Peninsulas capture aisle traffic from multiple directions and sit at a premium corner — a big step up from inline exposure without jumping to a full island.
From $16,800 →Fully custom builds from 30×30 up to 50×50 or larger. Structural elements, multi-level architecture, integrated LED, brand storytelling zones, fabrication from the ground up. Timeline: 8–12 weeks design-to-show.
From $65,000 →Tell us the booth you have in mind — any size, any layout, any finish. We'll design it, fabricate it in our warehouse or Orlando workshop, and install it on-site with our own crew. No packages to force-fit.
