Chicago is the trade-show capital of North America — McCormick Place runs IMTS, RSNA, NRA, the Auto Show, and IPPE, each pulling 50,000+ attendees. Beyond McCormick we cover three other layers: Loop and Fulton Market corporate events (the city's anchor agency and tech corridor), Magnificent Mile retail openings, and lakefront festival sampling (Lollapalooza, Taste of Chicago, Air & Water Show). Captains know the McCormick freight elevator schedule, IATSE / Teamsters Local 814 jurisdiction lines, and Loop load-in commute reality. Exhibitor program leads, agency producers, and Mag Mile retail launch teams are our anchor buyer. Cold-weather uniform protocol on every winter outdoor call. All staff are 100% W-2 and fully insured.
Common deployments: Loop corporate conferences at the Hyatt Regency Chicago and Sheraton Grand, plus North Shore corporate offsites along the Edens corridor.
