Each exhibitor has been assigned target dates and time slots for installation (move-in) and dismantling (move-out) of display material, equipment and machinery at McCormick Place. Drayage/Material Handling (moving items between your truck at the dock and your booth) is included in your space rate provided your truck arrives by your assigned date and time.
If you would like to request a target date change, please complete the Target Change Request Form by September 9, 2026. Approval is not guaranteed and is based on booth location and overall move-in/move-out logistics.
Travel Alert! Important Move-in/Move-Out Information:
The Bank of America Chicago Marathon will take place on Sunday, October 11. Due to road closures associated with the marathon, travelers should plan for additional travel time on Sunday and Monday.
For exhibitors with a Monday target date, please share this information with your carriers to avoid traffic and road closures. All exhibitors flying into Chicago are encouraged to use public transportation whenever possible. Check Marathon Street Closures.
Additionally, due to a Chicago Bears home game, exhibitors with an outbound target date of October 22 must have their trucks checked into the Marshalling Yard by 12:00pm that day.
