Chicago trade show booth FAQ
Which Chicago convention venues does Standika cover?
We build our booth models at McCormick Place and Donald E. Stephens (Rosemont) & Schaumburg and other Chicago venues. Tell us your show and we’ll plan logistics, labor and timing for that hall.
How quickly can you deliver a booth in Chicago?
Modular booth models can be ready within days once the design and graphics are approved; booths with custom-built elements typically need 4–8 weeks. Share your show date and we’ll confirm the schedule.
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 handle show paperwork, approved labor and venue procedures in Chicago, install the booth to the approved design and dismantle it after the show — planning early to keep material-handling costs down.
How much does a Chicago trade show booth cost?
Each Standika booth model has a clear turnkey price that covers the structure, graphics, furniture, installation and dismantle. Show-specific items for Chicago — such as electrical, drayage and venue labor — are quoted for your show.
Can exhibitors from outside the US build with you in Chicago?
Yes. Teams travelling to Chicago from abroad review and approve their booth in 3D remotely; we produce, ship and install it so the stand is ready when they land.
