Built, shipped, and supported under one roof.
Nimlok Chicago is a nationwide event specialist and exhibit servicer.

We size the program to your calendar, not the other way around.

Working with Nimlok for our conference booth was a seamless and impressive experience. Despite a tight timeline, their team delivered exceptional support and innovative design recommendations that perfectly aligned with our brand.
The Nimlok team has been nothing but incredible for all of our events. Their attention to detail and commitment to getting everything done efficiently and to specification is top notch. They make everything easy.
We were exhibiting at ADLM when a critical part of our booth frame was damaged in shipping. Peter not only had a replacement, I picked it up at their warehouse that same day. I walked in with an urgent issue and walked out a loyal customer.
Nimlok provided incredible customer service with a tremendous amount of creativity. The results were an award-winning booth and a working relationship that I look forward to for future shows.
Very professional, they make your booth space come to life. Maria and Joey are a lifesaver duo!
Nimlok Chicago has been amazing to work with. Miranda and her team went above and beyond to create our corporate booth and give our members an awesome experience. The unique and vibrant design had a huge impact.
I have used Nimlok several times with multiple companies, and they always knock it out of the park. Most recently they built us a modular booth that will fit our needs for years, even winning a Best Booth award. Start and end your search with Nimlok.
1st class experience. Miranda, Rebecca, and Ben led us through the entire process of designing a new booth and displaying at our first trade show. The booth design was stunning. We definitely stood out.
Great company to work with. Organized, knowledgeable, and creative. Their designs made setup and take down so manageable on site at the show. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend.
The Nimlok Chicago team is terrific to work with. Maria and Rebecca are very professional and great at communication. They helped us finalize the design and completed our booth in a very short period.
Transparency. They were extraordinarily responsive, very quick in turnaround on proposals. They took the time to understand that we wanted to launch a new brand. There was a lot of communication back and forth which we appreciated.
I can't recommend working with Nimlok highly enough. I've worked with Maria, Rebecca, Chris, and several other members of their team for over a year, and they consistently knock it out of the park. Every show a success.
