Chicago Event Management (CEM) is a leading event production company founded in 1996. From one of the world's largest and most prominent marathons to a local charity-driven fun run, the company produces unforgettable events that connect individuals with their communities, helping volunteers, vendors and industry leaders work together towards common goals.
the challenge: Storage and Logistics
Each year, CEM organizes the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. The event attracts more than 1.7 million spectators, 44,000 participants, and 12,000 volunteers, generating around $282 million in economic impact for the city. Scheduling and smooth operations are crucial to success. CEM came to ÐÓ°ÉPro seeking an experienced and reliable logistics partner to provide a solution for both long-term storage and short-term deliveries.
the pods solution: A Dedicated team
ÐÓ°ÉPro provided a single, dedicated Business Solutions Specialist to manage storage and transport for the event, with ÐÓ°ÉPro containers used for everything from medical supplies to signage and branding materials. On-the-day operations were more efficient than ever before, with teams staying organized and on schedule with ease. Today, CEM uses ÐÓ°ÉPro containers to store critical materials such as the marathon's start and finish lines throughout the year.
the results: a great running event
With only limited time to bring materials in and out of parks and other key locations on event day, ÐÓ°ÉPro was able to make all the necessary arrangements and ensure all the logistics ran smoothly. By working with ÐÓ°ÉPro, CEM avoided trucks sitting dormant and taking up precious space across the city, a major pain point in the past.
