A Chicago team, not a call center

DigiBooths runs on real local crews, and Chicago is one of our busiest markets. We don't ship a booth from three states away and hope it works — we staff every event with people who know the difference between a load-in at McCormick Place and squeezing gear up a freight elevator in an old Fulton Market loft. Because we're a service-area operation covering the whole Chicagoland metro, we can be at a conference in the South Loop in the morning and a corporate holiday party in Schaumburg or Oak Brook that same night. You get the polish of a national brand with a crew that actually knows the city.

Corporate, conventions and brand activations

Most of what we do in Chicago is corporate. That means trade show booths that pull traffic to your stand, conference photo experiences that tie back to your registration data, and full brand activations that give attendees a reason to stop, share and tag. McCormick Place alone drives a huge chunk of our calendar — the Auto Show, the housewares and restaurant shows, and countless corporate meetings and product launches. When a brand needs a booth that reinforces their look instead of fighting it, we build custom backdrops, branded print templates and social-share flows to match. We've powered activations for brands like UPMC, Bayer, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Macy's, Chick-fil-A, Shell and Coinbase — and we bring that same production standard to every Chicago floor.

University and campus events

Chicagoland's universities keep us busy year-round with homecomings, formals, orientation weeks, donor galas, athletics events and Greek life. We work campus events across Northwestern, the University of Chicago, UIC, DePaul and Loyola, plus suburban schools — and we understand the quirks of campus work: student-org budgets, tight event-services rules, dry-run approvals and the fact that a spring formal in a student union ballroom needs a very different setup than a research-center donor reception. We've done university activations for schools like CMU and Pitt, and we bring that campus-savvy playbook to every Chicago-area event we staff.

Iconic venues and neighborhoods we cover

Chicago's venue map is one of the best in the country, and we work all of it. Downtown, that's classic hotel ballrooms like The Drake and Palmer House Hilton, plus museum galas at the Field Museum, the Art Institute and Adler Planetarium out on the Museum Campus. Neighborhood by neighborhood, our crews load into industrial event spaces across Fulton Market and the West Loop, rooftop and riverfront venues in River North, lakefront setups at Navy Pier, and everything in the Loop, Streeterville and River North corridor. Out in the suburbs we cover Evanston, Naperville, Schaumburg, Oak Brook and the North Shore.

Which booth for which event

Not every event wants the same booth. For brand activations and high-energy campus events, our 360 booth draws a crowd and produces slow-motion video clips built for Instagram and TikTok — perfect for a Fulton Market launch party or a homecoming tailgate. For conferences and trade shows, an open-air setup with a branded backdrop and instant sharing keeps the line moving and captures leads. For black-tie galas at a downtown ballroom, a glam booth with flattering lighting and clean prints fits the room. Tell us the venue and the goal, and we'll spec the booth, backdrop and print flow to match — not the other way around.

How to book

Booking a Chicago photo booth with us is straightforward: call (724) 405-7729 or email hello@digibooths.com with your date, venue and headcount. We'll confirm our local team's availability, send a certificate of insurance if your venue requires one (McCormick Place, Navy Pier and most downtown hotels do), and lock in the booth, backdrop and branding. For corporate and university events we're used to procurement paperwork, W-9s and net terms — just point us at the right contact.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers.

Do you have a Chicago address or showroom?

No — we're a service-area company, not a storefront. Our Chicago team lives and works across the Chicagoland metro and comes to your venue, whether that's McCormick Place, a Fulton Market loft or a suburban corporate campus. It keeps our overhead low and our coverage wide.

Can you handle a McCormick Place or Navy Pier load-in?

Yes. We do McCormick Place and Navy Pier regularly and know the drill — dock scheduling, union labor rules, freight elevators and certificate-of-insurance requirements. Give us your show's exhibitor kit or venue contact and we'll handle the logistics.

Can you provide a certificate of insurance (COI)?

Absolutely. Most downtown Chicago venues and convention centers require a COI, and we issue them at no extra charge. Just send us the venue's insurance requirements when you book and we'll turn it around quickly.

Do you offer a 360 booth in Chicago?

We do. The 360 booth is one of our most-requested setups for Chicago brand activations, campus events and nightlife-district parties in River North and Fulton Market. It captures slow-motion, share-ready video that performs on social.

How far in advance should we book?

For peak corporate season — spring conferences, fall campus events and December holiday parties — two to four weeks is ideal, and busy McCormick Place show weeks book out further. That said, we can often accommodate short-notice Chicago requests, so call (724) 405-7729 even if your date is close.
