ASCO Annual Meeting Booth Rentals

Oncology’s largest gathering reads a booth like a poster session — fast, and for the data.

Fixed-price ASCO 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 oncology’s global research community has already stood up once.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

ASCO isn’t one meeting. It’s oncology’s whole research calendar.

ASCO fills McCormick Place — the largest convention center in North America — with oncology physicians, researchers and clinical staff over five days of plenary sessions, poster halls and one of the largest exhibit floors in medicine. The most expensive ASCO mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth that can’t be understood in the five-minute window between sessions.

McCormick Place

The largest convention center in North America

A campus-scale facility with its own move-in rhythm — targeted dock windows, marshalling-yard check-in and union labour governed by the show’s general contractor. Freight that misses its window waits, and waiting at a building this size is billed by the hour. We plan the booth to the building’s schedule, not the other way around.

A five-day research floor

Physicians moving between sessions and the floor

ASCO runs across five days, and attendees split their time between plenary sessions, poster halls and the exhibit floor. Booth traffic swings hard around session breaks, so the winning booth captures a five-minute window, not a lingering browse — a clear message, a working demo, staff ready the second the doors open.

The June bottleneck

Peak season for every fabrication shop

June sits inside the busiest stretch of the trade show calendar — dozens of major shows compete for the same fabrication capacity, freight slots and installation crews nationwide. The real deadline for a locked design is early April. Miss it and you’re not late, you’re competing for capacity everyone else already booked.

What we handle at ASCO
  • Floor-specific design — sightlines planned for your actual placement
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling at advance rates
  • Union labour coordination and on-site supervision
  • COI, EAC and exhibitor-manual deadlines mapped to our calendar
  • Dock target times, 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 February should survive June

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 June

Your real deadline is in early April

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-June show that cutoff sits in early April, right as production capacity nationwide gets squeezed by the busiest stretch of the trade show calendar.

Take this to every vendor

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your ASCO 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 March 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 — a standard this audience will appreciate.
4 Who files my advance show orders, and at which rate? Ours: we do, at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. For a June show those deadlines fall inside the industry’s busiest stretch — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 What happens to my timeline if peak season hits capacity first? Ours: nothing — because your design is locked and your advance orders are filed before the April cutoff, ahead of the June rush. Any vendor still designing in May is competing for capacity everyone else already booked. Ask them directly.

Questions ASCO exhibitors actually ask

ASCO booth rental FAQs

How much does an ASCO 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 ASCO?
Lock your design by early April. The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show, right as production capacity nationwide gets squeezed by the busiest stretch of the trade show calendar. Start the conversation in fall 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 McCormick Place?
Organised but strict, and scaled to the largest convention center in North America. Freight checks in through a marshalling yard and is called to the dock in targeted windows managed by the show’s general contractor — arrive outside your window and your truck waits, on the clock. We book the freight window and target time to your actual move-in slot, and your project manager and install supervisor are on site through move-in.
My booth needs to present clinical trial data and case studies — can you build for that?
Yes — this floor rewards a booth that gets to the data fast. We build in the wall space, screens and seating for a case-study walkthrough and a real one-on-one scientific conversation, sized for the short windows between sessions rather than a slow browse.
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?
Chicago floors run on contracted union labour, and the show’s general contractor governs who may build what. 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 ASCO 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. For a June show specifically, the earlier in spring you call, the more of that window sits ahead of the peak-season crunch.
Do you handle off-floor events — hospitality suites, satellite symposia, investor meetings?
Yes — hotel suites, satellite symposia and off-floor activations that cluster around ASCO run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth.
