Chicago Exhibit and Event Shipping
Our service area includes major convention centers and exhibit halls across Chicago. From the Donald E. Stephens Center in Rosemont, IL, to McCormick Place in Downtown Chicago and everywhere in between, we make sure your shipment arrives at its final destination on-time for your event.
No matter your event, we can meet your installation crews and provide:
- Direct to Show

- Dedicated Trailers
- Expedited Shipments
On your shipment’s return, we pre-populate material handling agreements (MHAs). This allows your on-site coordinators to turn in their paperwork and be on their way before the post-event rush begins.

Each building has specific regulatory aspects to allow certain HAZMAT products as well as those regulated by the FDA, TSA and DEA. They also have alarm systems to ensure your products remain safe.
