BOOTH PACKAGE OVERVIEW

DRAYAGE

Also known as “materials handling,” drayage is the labor to receive freight during move-in, deliver to your booth, remove empty containers and store and return them post-show, as well as load materials for outbound shipping.  This cost is included in your booth package.

BOOTH EQUIPMENT

Exhibit space includes grey carpet, a 120 volt, 150 watt duplex electrical outlet, and a 1’x4’ fluorescent ceiling fixture.  Each exhibitor receives one chair and one wastebasket.

BOOTH CLEANING

MMPI ensures that all booths will be vacuumed prior to the show at no charge.

WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS

Available through Boingo Wireless for a daily charge, wireless Internet access is available throughout the show floor for the convenience of exhibitors.

ADVANCE SHIPPING DATES

In order to ease your delivery process, we have set aside designated receiving days specifically for Chicago Market exhibitors beginning on Monday, December 26 through Friday, January 13 at an advanced receiving warehouse.  Freight will be delivered to your space and remain crated until a representative of your booth arrives on-site for move-in.

BOOTH IDENTIFICATION SIGN

All exhibitor spaces will be identified with a clean, simple booth sign that includes exhibitor name and booth number.  As necessary, multiple signs will be available for large spaces to help attendees navigate the show floor.
