"From the very beginning, their team was highly responsive and helped us clearly understand the pricing structure and contract terms. Most importantly, the representatives they provided to staff our booth at Autodesk University were professional, engaging, and of exceptional quality. We would gladly recommend Kinetic Events to any company."

Frequently Asked Questions From Chicago Planners
What types of staffing services do you offer in Chicago?
We provide brand ambassadors, trade show booth staff, conference and registration teams, product sampling and demo staff, street teams, venue and festival staff, and pop-up retail associates. Programs range from a single in-store demo to multi-day conventions with large teams.
How far in advance should I book staff for a Chicago event?
We recommend 2–3 weeks for most programs. For big McCormick Place convention weeks and summer festival weekends, book as early as you can, since demand for experienced staff is high. We can often fill last-minute requests too.
Do you staff trade shows and conventions at McCormick Place?
Yes. Our Chicago staff work booths, registration desks and attendee services at McCormick Place shows such as [the Chicago Auto Show, the National Restaurant Association Show]. Our teams handle hosting, demos, lead capture and guest services. Booth setup, electrical and freight are handled by the show’s contracted labor, and we coordinate with your exhibitor services contact.
Are your brand ambassadors local to Chicago?
Yes. Our Chicago team lives in the city and nearby suburbs. They know the venues, the neighborhoods and how to get around, so they can give attendees directions and local tips with confidence.
Which Chicago venues have your staff worked in?
Our teams have worked at McCormick Place, Navy Pier, United Center, Soldier Field, Wintrust Arena, Grant Park, the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, and at hotel ballrooms and event spaces across the Loop, River North and Fulton Market.
Can you coordinate staffing in Chicago and other cities?
Yes. We staff programs in 15 markets nationwide, so a multi-city tour or a national campaign can run through one project manager, with one set of standards and one invoice.
