At Automate, height and visibility are achieved through smart structural design rather than sheer size. We use compliant hanging elements, layered backwalls, and elevated lighting trusses that keep messaging visible across the aisle while staying within McCormick Place and show regulations.
Exhibit Rentals for Robotics, Automation, Vision, & Industrial Technology Providers
June 22-25, 2026 | McCormick Place, Chicago, IL
Automate is the largest automation-focused event, bringing together manufacturers, engineers, and tech leaders focused on robotics, motion control, AI, and smart manufacturing. Exhibiting here places your brand in front of influencers who expect real demonstrations and technical depth. Your booth must function as a live technology environment, not a static display.
- Demonstrate automation in action: Automate attendees expect live technical demos, and your exhibit should display how your technology performs in real world scenarios.
- Support technical conversations: Visitors ask detailed questions about integration, safety, and ROI. Your booth must have comfortable spaces for such meaningful discussions.
- Convert booth traffic into discussions: Design your booth to move qualified visitors toward follow-up demos, facility visits, or technical evaluations.

Frequently Asked Questions
For automation exhibitors, turnkey exhibit rentals reduce risk as it avoids long-term storage, transport of heavy components, and maintenance of demo infrastructure. Rentals allow you to adapt booth size and layout each year as product lines and demo needs evolve.
Reviewing booth layout and functionality is critical for media tech and entertainment booths. At Exponents, your booth gets a complete pre-show trial run before shipping and visuals are sent to you to review demo flow, spacing, and usability before the show begins.
Equipment, screens, and presenters are positioned in such a way that viewers step into the booth rather than gathering at the aisle edge, keeping traffic flowing and demos safe.
Booths must be engineered for uptime. This includes redundant power planning, secure equipment anchoring, clear safety boundaries, and defined operator positions so demos can run repeatedly without interruption or reset delays.
The most effective approach is layered storytelling. Lead with a working demo, support it with simple outcome messaging, and reserve deeper technical discussion for one-on-one conversations with engineers and integrators.
Safety planning is built into the layout. We design clear demo perimeters, appropriate spacing, and controlled access zones that meet show and venue safety standards while keeping demos engaging and visible.
Yes. We can build booths for ATX West, The Assembly Show, and Pack Expo, helping your brand connect with automation engineers, robotics manufacturers, system integrators, and smart factory decision-makers across the global industrial automation ecosystem.
