Chicago is a world-class destination for live events, and one of the most popular cities where Trade Show Internet provides temporary internet solutions and WiFi for events. In 2018 the city hosted some of the largest annual trade shows including the International Home and Housewares Show, America's Beauty Show, Lightfair, National Restaurant Association, Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition, and Graph Expo. Although we were not the official ISP for these shows, we successfully served our exhibitor clients with our 5G Internet Kit and 5G Mega Internet Kit rental solutions. Our short term WiFi internet solutions are designed to serve the mission critical event connectivity needs of our corporate clients. All of our commercial WiFi rental kits come with carrier redundancy and our 100% money-back guarantee, making them highly reliable. Our temporary WiFi solutions are small and portable, so they blend inconspicuously into any exhibit booth or small meeting environment. Best of all, the rental price of our kits is designed to undercut the typical pricing found at McCormick Place and Navy Pier, offering a typical savings of around 50%.

Beyond McCormick Place and Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile hosts 70 top hotels including the Fairmont, Sofitel, Peninsula, InterContinental, Hilton, and Marriott which are popular destinations for corporate and association meetings. Trade Show Internet provides event Internet and WiFi services with our local network engineering team. As an event internet service provider, we have provided fiber-optic and point-to-point microwave bandwidth circuits along with large WiFi rental for AIG’s Board of Directors Meeting at the Fairmont Chicago, Databricks’ Spark Live Tour at the Sheraton Grand Chicago, and FreeSwitch’s ClueCon at Swissotel Chicago, to name a few.

For experiential marketers, Chicago offers inspiring outdoor environments like the newly revitalized Chicago Riverwalk where we provided an industrial WiFi rental solution for Nike’s Icebox. Nike’s experiential activation featured a floating open-air river barge turned workout studio. Trade Show Internet has deployed event Internet at Millennium Park’s Harris Theater for Brand New Conference and Grant Park’s Petrillo Music Shell for HBO’s Game of Thrones tour. Chicago is also home to several converted industrial facilities like the historical Morgan Manufacturing event space which served as the setting for Bosch’s ConnectedWorld. At this private corporate conference, Trade Show Internet provided a large-scale temporary WiFi solution and on-site network engineering services supporting live video streaming and Internet of Things demonstrations.

As a master agent with several tier1 ISPs and regional bandwidth providers serving the Chicagoland area, our reach extends beyond the Loop to Lincoln Park, River North, Uptown, Wicker Park, Oak Park, and even Rosemont where we have provided temporary event bandwidth circuits at the Donald Stephens Convention Center. Our deep knowledge of the local Chicago market, direct access to bandwidth providers, and 10+ years running live event networks gives us a competitive edge. Whether we are providing convention center Internet for a trade show booth, hotel WiFi for a corporate meeting, or temporary WiFi rental for an outdoor activation, we have a wide range of solutions to solve even the toughest Chicago event internet challenges.
