Exhibitor Services
Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. has earned a reputation for its outstanding exhibitor services operation, heralded by exhibitors and third-party show managers as the most user-friendly in the United States. Every aspect of our management is focused on cost containment and customer service. We hire employees for the long haul, and they reward us with loyalty and extra effort. For many of our customers and clients, the line between union and non-union labor is indistinguishable. Our relationship with organized labor is not simply a tactical effort to avoid confrontation, but rather is a strategic effort to enhance the experience of our customers.

Customer Experience
For most visitors, their first impressions upon arrival at the fair will consist of friendly greetings by our liveried doormen as they enter The Mart’s grand South Lobby on River Drive. Guests will check coats and bags and purchase tickets, if necessary, on the first floor, while advance-ticket holders are invited to proceed directly to the fair by dedicated express elevators.
