Experiential Marketing in Chicago
Chicago is one of the country’s largest trade show cities. Conventions, corporate headquarters events and client dinners fill the calendar, and exhibitors need something that pulls people to their booth. McCormick Place is the largest convention center in North America, and Chicago’s trade show calendar is one of the busiest in the country. Between shows, corporate headquarters in the Loop and the suburbs host client dinners, holiday parties and employee events, while Navy Pier and River North venues handle brand launches.
We are not a basic photo booth company. Every activation is customized, staffed by Milestone Media and built around your brand, designed for Chicago trade shows, headquarters events and client dinners. We cover the Loop, River North, the West Loop, the O’Hare corridor and Schaumburg. Leading venues we support include Navy Pier, the Field Museum, the Chicago Cultural Center and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont. Every activation follows the same four steps: strategy and design, venue logistics, on-site install and event day.
