FEEDBACK FROM THE INDUSTRY
"I’ve done a lot of trade shows in my life, and I feel like Chicago Build already offers the strongest return on investment - just being here for one day. We’ve easily collected around 300 leads, so it’s a great opportunity to meet people and companies ready to spend."

"It was the best show I've been to in my 8 years in sales. I ran out of business cards in the first 4 hours and met many great contacts and decision-makers."

"Chicago Build 2025 was a masterclass in collaboration and forward thinking. The conversations we had have already influenced how we approach responsible development at Young Investment Solutions. It proved that the right ideas, in the right rooms, can drive real industry change."
Young Investment Solutions
"After doing trade shows for over 25 years and settling for “the same old” expectations, New York Build and Chicago Build by Oliver Kinross Events came to America ( New York Build in 2018) and they are the best construction shows I have ever been an Exhibitor with or a guest at! Quality leads, knowledgeable speakers and nonstop booth traffic! I cannot wait until London Build in November!"
