Hat Bar · Chicago, IL
Chicago, Meet Your New Favorite Booth
Big Shoulders. Better hats.
Chicago is a serious event city for serious operators. McCormick Place is the largest convention center in North America, and the calendar it runs, from manufacturing weeks and housewares to restaurant shows and medical congresses, brings in buyers who see ten thousand booths a year. They have a finely tuned filter for forgettable. A hat bar breaks that filter, because nobody scrolls past a wall of patches and a live press.
The play is simple: attendees stop at your booth, build a custom trucker hat with premium patches and your logo, and wear it down every aisle of a show floor the size of a small city. Your brand rides along to the river-walk dinners and West Loop afterparties too. Put your brand on their heads. Literally. It beats another branded tote by a distance you can measure in aisles.
Off the show floor, Chicago gives us a gorgeous spread of venues and reasons. Corporate summer outings at Navy Pier, Fulton Market product launches, Cubs and Sox season with rooftop parties in Wrigleyville, galas at The Old Post Office, holiday parties that need to out-do last year's. We fly in from Orlando with the full rig, quote travel flat and up front, and treat your winter load-in dock like the character-building experience it is.
Brimstreet is Orlando-based and travels nationwide. Chicago is a direct flight and a booking we make constantly for McCormick Place shows. Travel is quoted flat and up front, no surprises on the invoice.
