Published rental range: $85,000 - $200,000
A 30x30 island is a flagship statement, 900 square feet of open floor where your brand can host a full hospitality and sales operation at the center of a Chicago show. At this scale we design like architects rather than display builders: the island becomes a small pavilion with a clear front of house and back of house, multiple enclosed rooms, a demo theater or LED stage, a hospitality lounge for VIP conversations, and generous open product zones that invite traffic from every aisle. This is the size that anchors a company's presence at the largest McCormick Place events, IMTS, RSNA, PACK EXPO, the National Restaurant Association Show, where a flagship exhibit signals market leadership and gives your team the room to move hundreds of conversations through the space across a multi-day run. We construct the 30x30 from custom-fabricated architectural structures reinforced with modular systems, so the walls, towers, and ceilings read as permanent brand architecture while remaining a rentable, reconfigurable asset. A large structural hanging sign floats above the hall as a beacon, and per Chicago best practice we keep the overhead open and avoid heavy truss so the pavilion feels bright and premium instead of scaffolded. Media is a centerpiece: a 30x30 typically carries a large LED video wall or an LED-wrapped theater, secondary screens throughout demo pods and meeting rooms, and integrated audio, all engineered into the structure with managed power and data so the technology performs flawlessly on the floor. Every graphic is produced in-house, combining large-format silicone edge fabric, dye-sublimation, dimensional and backlit logos, and finished millwork surfaces that photograph beautifully for your post-show content. Functionally, the enclosed rooms let your executives hold private meetings and sign business while the open zones run live demonstrations and capture leads, and the hospitality lounge gives your best prospects a reason to stay. The published rental range of $85,000 to $200,000 reflects the configurability: the base delivers a multi-zone island with two enclosed rooms, an LED feature, and a hanging sign, while the upper band adds a demo theater, a hospitality lounge, a larger media package, premium flooring, and richer architectural detailing. A flagship of this size carries substantial McCormick Place rigging, electrical, and labor under the hall's jurisdiction, so we develop a detailed labor and freight plan against targeted move-in windows and run a pre-show staging review to de-risk the install. Expect a nine-to-eleven-week lead time and a two-to-two-and-a-half-day install with a five-to-seven-person crew. Renting a 30x30 keeps a major capital asset off your balance sheet, removes storage and maintenance overhead, and lets you restage a fresh flagship every year while we refurbish and store the system.

A 30x30 supports two to three enclosed rooms, a demo theater or LED stage, a hospitality or lounge zone, open product displays, and a dedicated lead-capture and reception point, all while keeping the ceiling open and the corners walkable.
Yes. A flagship island of this size carries significant rigging, electrical, and install labor under McCormick Place jurisdiction. We build a detailed labor and freight plan against targeted move-in windows so the program stays on budget.
Reserve nine to eleven weeks ahead of move-in. A flagship build needs time for design iteration, structural engineering, graphics production, and a pre-show staging review so nothing is discovered for the first time on the floor.
It is the common choice for flagship Chicago programs. Renting keeps a major capital asset off your books, eliminates storage and maintenance overhead, and lets you restage a new flagship look each year while we refurbish and store the system.
