Renting here
Renting for McCormick Place
Chicago-area exhibit houses keep rental stock in their suburban warehouses, so a local rental reaches McCormick Place without cross-country freight. Ask each builder whether delivery to the hall, install and dismantle are in the rental price.
Floor space, drayage and electrical are ordered from the show, not the rental builder (Exhibits Northwest). Order them before the show's early-rate deadline: Classic Exhibits says early orders can save 30% to 40%.
