Review official documents
Start with the current event manual, floor plan, service desk contacts, target dates, and the assigned space rather than a previous show assumption.
Show-site planning · Chicago
Chicago Trade Show Services Planning for a documented Chicago show plan.
Show services can include material handling, labor, electrical, rigging, internet, cleaning, plumbing, audiovisual support, and other event-specific work. Availability, ordering authority, jurisdiction, rates, and deadlines come from the current official documents and appointed providers.
Planning sequence
Turn the service request into approved responsibilities and deadlines.
Each step is designed to expose assumptions before they create production or show-site risk.
Translate design into orders
Identify power, internet, rigging, labor, material handling, cleaning, plumbing, audiovisual, and other services required by the approved exhibit plan.
Track confirmations
Keep submitted forms, revisions, approvals, receipts, placement drawings, and show-site contacts connected to the latest plan.
02
Include these controls in the written project review.
- Advance-order and final deadlines
- Approved placement drawings
- Venue and contractor ordering rules
- Show-site contact and escalation plan
Choose a verified starting point
Connect the service plan to a current exhibit rental or a custom brief.
Verified exhibit details preserve active product context. Custom discovery is available when a standard rental is not the right starting point.
Show Services FAQs
Resolve assumptions before authorizing work.
Visible answers and structured data use the same reviewed content.
Are show services included with every rental?
No universal inclusion should be assumed. The proposal and responsibility matrix should identify which services are included, coordinated, estimated, passed through, or ordered directly.
Can old service forms be reused?
No. Use the current event manual and official ordering channels because providers, deadlines, forms, rates, and requirements can change.
Does this site represent McCormick Place or a show organizer?
No. Chicago Booth Rentals is an independent exhibit-rental resource and is not presented as the venue, organizer, or official service contractor.
