Thank you very much for your interest in our 2018 Home & Garden Shows. We’ve included the floorplans and pricing for our upcoming events in this packet for your review as well as why our direction for 2018 makes our events more valuable to your business than ever.
In 2017, we delivered our 4th record season in a row with regards to attendance, consistency and productivity for our exhibitors. We had implemented the most aggressive and comprehensive approach to advertising a group of events that this market has ever seen and the results were clearly positive. It is easy to understand what comes next.
Great shows last year have increased demand for space for this year and we will be increasing the advertising coverage once again to an unmatched level in the Chicago area. This approach has already proven itself at our first show of 2018 where over 10,000 homeowners attended our Oak Brook Home Show on Jan. 20 & 21. In a market with many events attracting only hundreds of attendees, you can see why ours are in such high demand. Now we intend on setting new records for all of our 2018 events and we recommend contacting us today to secure space for your company.

Booths must be staffed during entire show schedule and no subletting of booth space will be allowed. Exhibitor agrees that at-show staff will not remove any displays materials or begin taking down show displays prior to the close of the event.

No solicitation of literature will be permitted outside the booth area, including distribution outside of the building or materials placed on vehicles.
