At Ion Exhibits, creating extraordinary experiences doesn’t stop at the show floor—it starts with our people. We’re proud to announce that we’ve once again been named to the Daily Herald’s Best Places to Work in Illinois list for 2025, marking our sixth time earning this prestigious recognition in the Small Business category.
This year’s honor follows wins in 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, underscoring our long-standing commitment to building a workplace where creativity thrives, collaboration is encouraged, and everyone feels empowered to grow.
A Culture That Puts People First
Our success as a leading exhibit and experiential marketing company is rooted in our team—designers, fabricators, project managers, marketers, and client service pros—who go above and beyond every day to bring brands to life. We work hard, we celebrate wins, and we support one another like family.
From employee-led innovation sessions and mentorship opportunities to our dedication to work-life balance and team recognition, our culture reflects the same thoughtfulness and care we bring to every exhibit.
What Makes Us a “Best Place to Work”?
Here are a few reasons our employees say Ion Exhibits stands out:
- Creative Freedom: We foster an environment where bold ideas are welcomed and individuality is embraced.

- Strong Values: Transparency, respect, and accountability are not just words—they guide how we operate daily.
- Camaraderie and Celebration: Whether it’s a team cookout, industry win, or community initiative, we make time to enjoy the journey together.
Looking Ahead
