Members of the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters perform the installation and dismantling of trade show exhibits. They are professionals who have the education, experience and work ethic to make every show—no matter how small or large—seem like an effortless experience from start to finish.
Chicago's McCormick Place, Navy Pier and Rosemont Convention Center combined represent millions of square feet of meeting and exhibition space. This vast display footage is instrumental in keeping the Second City first in the staging of trade shows. But, whether it's an intimate show for one of the smaller associations or a massive event like the auto show, navigating these millions of square feet can be challenging, both for show managers and exhibitors. As always, having the right people and knowledge is the key.
The Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters believes that successful conventions and trade shows are the result of teamwork, driven by a true partnership between the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority,* our union carpenters, and the show managers and exhibitors. To uphold our part of this alliance we give our carpenters extensive training in exhibit and display work-training unsurpassed anywhere else in the nation.
