AGD Scientific Session · Hyatt Regency Chicago · July

AGD Scientific Session Booth Rentals

75 years of general dentistry’s flagship CE weekend — in one hotel, not a hall you can hide in.

Fixed-price AGD exhibits — design, fabrication, graphics, freight, installation and dismantle in one number that doesn’t move. Pre-built, lit and photo-approved before it ships, so the booth built for practicing dentists between CE courses has already stood up once.

AGD isn’t a hall show. It’s a hotel, and that changes everything.

AGD’s Scientific Session runs out of the Hyatt Regency Chicago — a ballroom-based exhibit floor inside a working hotel, not a purpose-built convention hall. That means loading docks and freight elevators instead of a marshalling yard, and a footprint that’s tighter and denser than a typical trade show. The most expensive AGD mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth designed for a convention center and shipped to a hotel.

A hotel, not a hall

Hyatt Regency Chicago · ballroom exhibit floor

Freight moves through loading docks and freight elevators on a hotel’s schedule, not a show’s marshalling yard — narrower doors, tighter time slots and less margin for an oversized crate. We measure the actual freight elevator and loading dock before anything is built, so your booth arrives in pieces that fit.

A CE-course audience

General dentists moving between sessions

Attendees are working dentists and their teams squeezing the exhibit floor between continuing-education courses — short windows, high foot traffic, and little patience for a booth that takes ten seconds to explain. The booths that win say what they do in a glance and give a dentist a reason to stop for two minutes, not twenty.

The July bottleneck

Summer is the industry’s busiest overlapping season

AGD lands during the same crowded summer stretch as much of the healthcare and dental show calendar, when fabrication shops fill up first-come, first-served. Book late and you’re choosing from whatever build capacity is left, not what’s best for a hotel-sized booth.

What we handle at AGD
  • Hotel-specific design — sized to fit ballroom doors, freight elevators and aisle widths
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling at advance rates
  • Labour coordination and on-site supervision inside the hotel’s rules
  • COI, EAC and exhibitor-manual deadlines mapped to our calendar
  • Freight-elevator timing, dismantle, pack and outbound freight
Billed by the show, not by us

Booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging and cleaning are billed to every exhibitor directly by the show — no exhibit house can absorb them and none should claim to. What we do is calculate them for your exact booth before you commit, and file every order at advance rather than floor rates.

  • Booth space
  • Electrical drops and floor distribution
  • Material handling (drayage)
  • Rigging, if you’re hanging a sign
  • Daily cleaning · internet
Why a fixed price matters most here

The budget you present in March should survive July

Trade show invoices grow the same way everywhere: labour hours over estimate, revisions rebilled as change orders, graphics reprints, supervision time nobody flagged. Our model is the opposite — the number you approve is the number you pay, contractually. Design revisions are unlimited until you approve. The quote and the final invoice are the same document.

01

One number, and it holds

Design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, lighting, freight, installation, dismantle and project management in a single fixed price.

02

Proven before it ships

Your booth stands fully assembled and lit at our 65,000 sq ft facility, and you approve photographs of the actual build — not a render.

03

Show costs, known up front

Space, electrical, drayage and rigging calculated for your exact booth before you commit — so the total is a number, not a range.

04

The paperwork is ours

COI, EAC, electrical, rigging, freight windows — filed at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. Nothing lands on your desk three days before it’s due.

We quote higher and cost less. That’s the whole argument, and it’s why every booth below is published with its price rather than hidden behind a “request a quote” form.

Working backwards from July

Your real deadline is in mid-spring

The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically each edition. For an early-July show that cutoff sits in mid-May, right as summer’s crowded healthcare and dental show season starts filling fabrication calendars.

Take this to every vendor

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your AGD booth

Put these to every exhibit house you’re comparing — including us. They separate the vendors that stand behind a number from the ones whose estimate is an opening position. Our answers are printed here so you can hold us to them.

1 Will you put the total price in writing before I sign — and hold it? Ours: yes. Every booth on this page is published with its price. The quote and the final invoice are the same number, contractually. Printed above · hold us to it
2 Do design revisions become change orders? Ours: never. Revisions are unlimited until you approve, and the price is locked before design starts — a better idea in May costs nothing.
3 Will I see my actual booth before it ships — or a render? Ours: the actual booth, fully assembled and lit at our facility, photographed for your sign-off before it ships. Renders are promises; photographs are evidence — especially useful when the booth has to fit through a specific hotel freight elevator, not a generic dock door.
4 Who files my advance show orders, and at which rate? Ours: we do, at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. At a hotel venue, filing late can mean losing your freight-elevator slot entirely — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 What happens to my timeline if I call late in the summer season? Ours: less than you’d think, but less choice — your design is locked and your booth is sized to the hotel’s elevators well before summer’s show season peaks. Any vendor still measuring freight elevators the week of the show is gambling with your booth. Ask them directly.

Questions AGD exhibitors actually ask

AGD booth rental FAQs

How much does an AGD booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its Chicago price — fixed and all-inclusive: design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, labour coordination and project management. Separately, the show bills you directly for booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging and cleaning; we calculate those for your exact booth before you commit, so the total is known before you sign anything.
When should I book a booth for AGD?
Lock your design in mid-spring. The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks out, right as summer’s crowded dental and healthcare show season starts filling fabrication calendars industry-wide. Start the conversation early in the year for full design freedom; the exact advance-order deadline for the next edition is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically.
What’s move-in like at a hotel venue like the Hyatt Regency Chicago?
Different from a convention center in almost every way. Freight comes through loading docks and freight elevators on the hotel’s own schedule, in a building that’s also running its regular guest operations. We confirm dock access and freight-elevator dimensions before anything is designed, and your project manager and install supervisor are on site through move-in.
Will my booth actually fit through a hotel freight elevator?
That’s exactly what we design around. Before your booth is built, we measure the venue’s freight elevator and loading dock and engineer the structure to break down into pieces that clear both — the kind of detail that gets missed when a booth is designed generically and shipped to whatever venue shows up.
Will a rental look custom, or will it look reused?
Every booth is fabricated for your brand — custom graphics, layout, lighting and finishes on a modular structure underneath. The builds shown above are rentals. Before yours ships, it stands fully assembled and lit at our facility and you approve photographs of the actual booth, not a render.
Can I install the booth myself to save on labour?
Hotel exhibit floors run on contracted labour, and the show governs who may build what on its floor. Either way it isn’t your problem to arrange: labour coordination and on-site supervision are inside our fixed price, filed at advance rather than floor rates.
What happens if something goes wrong during move-in?
Your project manager and our install supervisor are on site through move-in and reachable across show days. Because everything was assembled and checked before shipping, the problems that usually surface at this stage — missing hardware, graphics that don’t fit, panels that won’t seat — have already been found and fixed on our floor, weeks earlier.
A vendor just fell through. How fast can you deliver an AGD booth?
Four to six weeks from approval to show floor for complete pre-built, photo-verified booths from 10×10 through 20×40 — at the same fixed price as a six-month lead time, with no rush surcharge. During AGD’s crowded summer season, the earlier you call, the more build capacity is still available.
Does a hotel ballroom floor change how a booth should be designed?
Yes — ceiling heights, column placement and aisle widths in a hotel ballroom rarely match a convention hall’s, and rigging options are more limited. We design against your actual floor plan for the Hyatt Regency Chicago, not a generic 10×10 template, so the booth fits the room instead of the room being a surprise on move-in day.
