Trade show boothsin Chicago
McCormick Place has its own rhythm: long marshaling queues, strict labor jurisdictions and some of the largest halls in North America. We plan freight, rigging and I&D around it so your booth stands on day one.
In short
McCormick Place in Chicago is the largest convention center in North America and hosts IMTS, the NRA Show, RSNA, Pack Expo and FABTECH. Solid Exhibits plans booths around its long marshaling queues, strict labor jurisdictions and move-in windows, then handles fabrication, freight and installation.

How it works
Brief to boothin four moves
One project lead from first call to final crate. No hand-offs between a design agency, a fabricator and an I&D crew.
- Week 001
Brief
A 30-minute call about goals, footprint, budget and show rules. We read the exhibitor manual so you don’t have to.
- Days 5–702
Concept & 3D
Photoreal renders of your booth on the actual floor plan, with a line-item estimate. Revise until it’s right.
- Weeks 3–1003
Engineer & Build
Shop drawings, fabrication, graphics and AV. Critical parts are pre-assembled in our workshop before anything ships.
- Show week04
Install & Support
Our crew installs, a project lead stays on-site through opening, and we dismantle, repack and store after close.
It starts with a free consultation to understand goals, footprint and budget. We move to 3D design, and once you approve, we handle production in our workshop, logistics and on-site installation. One dedicated project manager coordinates every step.
