The Chicago Auto Show is the largest auto show in North America by attendance, welcoming over 1 million visitors to McCormick Place each February. With a century-plus history and unmatched public attendance, the CAS offers automotive brands the most extensive consumer engagement opportunity on the auto show circuit.

AirFresh Marketing provides comprehensive staffing for Chicago Auto Show exhibitors, from product specialists who know your vehicles inside and out to brand ambassadors who create memorable interactions with the show's massive audience.

Product Specialists

The Chicago Auto Show's enormous public attendance means your product specialists must sustain high-energy engagement across 10+ days. Our specialists are trained on your full vehicle lineup and can deliver compelling presentations that resonate with the diverse CAS audience—from first-time car buyers to enthusiasts to families.

Lead Generation Staff

With over 1 million visitors, the CAS generates significant lead volume. Our lead capture specialists focus on qualifying serious buyers, capturing contact information tied to specific vehicle interest, and segmenting leads for your dealer network. Quality over quantity is our approach.
