I didn't realize Rosemont was non-union. I've done a lot of trade shows it is always a pain to deal with the union and/or the show logistics. You can't even change a light bulb in your booth in McCormick. In Vegas you can't use the elevator or anything with wheels to move your booth gear, hand carry only. So glad I don't do trade shows anymore. The extortion, I mean markup, for GES services at a lot of the shows makes Ticketmaster look reasonable.
A lot of locations are hot in July/August. They should have functioning AC though. You really don't want to think about Vegas, St Louis, or Atlanta that time of year.
