McCormick Place is one of the largest convention centers in North America and a major destination for manufacturing, packaging, foodservice, healthcare, and other large trade shows. Its multi-building campus and high freight volume make early logistics planning especially important for exhibitors.
Freight requirements vary by event, including receiving windows, advance warehouse options, marshaling procedures, and move-in schedules. Exhibitors should confirm their show’s official shipping instructions before freight moves and plan transportation around the required delivery window.
For McCormick Place, build the transportation plan backward from your assigned receiving or move-in window. Large shows can create significant inbound freight volume, and machinery shipments may require additional coordination once they reach the facility. If your exhibit is ready early, compare the advance warehouse option with direct-to-show delivery before choosing the shipping schedule.
