Trade show booth design for Chicago usually means McCormick Place, home to IMTS, RSNA, ProMat and others, or theMART for NeoCon. Labor and handling are major budget lines, and Illinois has specific rules on exhibitors' rights. Studio gives you a 3D booth at your exact size, a render and drawings, so that your exhibit house quotes one design.
Chicago
What you get.
Read the labor rules
Chicago service kits set out who may do which work, and Illinois law addresses exhibitor rights at McCormick Place. Rates and rules change, so use the current kit.
Winter freight
Shows in winter, such as RSNA, may be hit by weather delays. Build in spare days.
Heavy machinery
IMTS needs rigging, power and a clear delivery sequence, booked early.
The plot on the floor plan
Enter the width, depth, open sides and the height limit for your Chicago hall. The concept stays inside them.
One design for every quote
Send Chicago builders the same plan, elevations and concept quantities, so their prices describe one booth.
Curves, battens and light
AI-composed curved walls, timber battens and LED strips are all shown in 3D before anyone in Chicago cuts a panel.

FAQ
Good to know.
01Can my staff work on the booth at McCormick Place?
Illinois law and show rules set what exhibitors can do. Read your service kit.
02Is NeoCon at McCormick Place?
No, NeoCon is held at theMART.
03What should I give my exhibit house?
A plan, elevations and a schedule. Studio exports these.
04Can a stand builder build from these designs?
Studio produces dimension-controlled concept designs with plans, elevations and a schedule that are accurate to the 3D model, which is ideal for pitching, quoting and planning. Structure, rigging, electrics, fire safety and venue approvals still need your stand builder and the organiser.
