Prospective Exhibitors

Why Exhibit

The Chicago Golf Show is a one of a kind Golf marketplace where we take pride in presenting a professional convention that shows off the wares of its exhibitors. Starting from a few tabletop exhibits in a hotel ballroom, the Chicago Golf Show has continued to grow to become one of the Midwest's Largest Golf Shows featuring everything there is related to golf.

The Chicago Golf Show is willing to make the investment to make your Chicago Golf Show experience the best one yet. The show's management team understands the Chicagoland marketplace and runs an attendance promotion marketing campaign that takes advantage of the cabin fever many golfers experience during the cruel Chicago winters. We employ nearly every avenue of promotion through direct mail, coupons, billboards, e-blasts, newspaper, and television.

Illinois Section of the PGA

il-pga

The Illinois Section of the PGA exclusively supports the Chicago Golf Show, the longest-running consumer golf show in the United States because it is the place to showcase your product or service to more than 15,000 avid golfers. Each year, our team works hard to increase attendance with luring promotions and special events at the show. We are also happy to announce the return of "$5 Friday" which increased the attendance by 44% on opening day.

  • Chicago's Longest Putt - Attendees line up to accept the challenge: to try and make an 80-foot putt, Chicago's longest, to win great prizes! The Longest Putt is a Golf Show Classic.
  • PGA Putting Green - Illinois PGA Pros provide free putting lessons.
  • Hourly Prize Give-Aways!
  • $5 Friday - Premiering in 2008, $5 Friday attracted a record opening day attendance that was a great kick-off for the weekend.
