Inside the booth at McCormick

We have worked McCormick Place enough times that the hard parts are boring to us: dock schedules and drayage, certificates of insurance in the format the building wants, union rules about who plugs in what, fire marshal signoff on equipment. Guests order on a tablet from your booth, keep walking the floor, and come back when their piece is ready, so the booth never turns into a line. We keep a dedicated McCormick Place page with the full rundown.

Around the convention center

Show weeks spill out of the halls. Client dinners in the hotels next door, after parties on Motor Row, sponsor events at Wintrust Arena, game day activations at Soldier Field on the Museum Campus. We run the booth by day and the party by night with the same crew, which is only possible because the crew is local.

Established in Chicago, 2009

This is our home market. Most of the team on a South Loop job lives in the region and most of the gear is already close by. Our quotes are all in. No travel fees, no hotel line items, no equipment shipping. The number we quote is the number you pay.

The tech
behind the booth

We built our own software to run every event, from the first order to the final report.

Guests order on a tablet

Size, design, the name or initials they want on it. Two minutes at the screen, then they walk away and get a text when it is ready.

One live inventory pool

Every station pulls from the same stock. When a size runs low it greys out on every guest screen at once, so nothing runs out quietly.

Your event on a dashboard

Completed orders, queue depth, turnaround time and remaining inventory, live on your phone from anywhere in the building.

Built for scale

The same crews and platform handle a 200 person retreat and a multi day program with over 100,000 guests. We have pushed more than 2,000 personalized orders through one three day activation without a line forming.

Your activation in South Loop and McCormick Place runs on the identical ordering platform and live client dashboard as one in Chicago or Las Vegas. Same crews, same equipment, same software.

Questions we get about South Loop and McCormick Place

Can you print inside our McCormick Place booth?

Yes. We work from your booth drawings and the show schedule and coordinate drayage, labor and fire marshal requirements with your exhibit house. Our McCormick Place page has the details.

Can the same crew do our booth and our client dinner?

Yes. Convention week programs that move from the hall to a hotel or restaurant nearby are common for us in the South Loop.

Do you handle Soldier Field and Museum Campus events?

Yes. Stadium and campus events need power, weather plans and tight timing around gates, all of which we bring.
