Does Atroq know the drayage and union rules at McCormick Place?

Yes. Largest US convention center (2.6M sqft exhibit) — huge freight logistics We build in compliance, pre-crate to minimize drayage charges (billed per CWT), and coordinate directly with the show's general service contractor (Freeman, GES, etc.) to keep costs down.

How fast can Atroq turn around a last-minute booth for McCormick Place?

For Chicago shows we compress to 2–3 weeks by leveraging pre-built inventory from our LA or Las Vegas warehouse.

What booth sizes does Atroq build for McCormick Place?

Every standard size: 10×10, 10×20, 20×20 island, 20×30 island, peninsulas, and full custom islands (30×30+). North Building typically has the best clearance for large hanging signs — ask us about rigging weight limits.

Which shows at McCormick Place has Atroq built booths for?

We've built for exhibitors at RSNA, IMTS, Pack Expo, NRA Annual, Sweets & Snacks Expo, International Home + Housewares. Tell us your show — we likely have venue-specific knowledge already.

How does Atroq save money on McCormick Place booth rentals?

Three ways: (1) Pre-built components shipped from LA/Vegas save on interstate freight vs fully-custom build-outs at destination. (2) We supervise install in-house — no third-party GC fees. (3) We pre-crate for minimum drayage. Combined savings vs out-of-state booth houses can reach 70% on union I&D labor.

Yes. Vetted brand ambassadors, product specialists, multilingual staff, and custom lead-capture apps that sync to your CRM. Staff is quoted separately from the booth build; both can go on the same package.
