Military Promotions, LLC has been promoting collectible shows in the Chicago area for over 16 years. The larger show has been held at the Midwest Conference Center in Northlake, IL. for the past 11 years. This facility has over 15,000 sq. ft. of exhibitor space that will accommodate 250, 8' display tables.
There is parking for over 500 cars at the conference center and a parking lot shuttle bus is provided free of charge for the attendees on Saturday and Sunday.

This show is held twice a year, in Spring and Fall of each year.

The NEW Glendale Heights Militaria Show ( formerly the Hillside Militaria Show )is held at the Ramada Inn & Suites, Glendale Heights,IL. and will be held 6 times a year.
The Ramada Inn has over 6,000 sq. ft. of exhibitor space which accommodates over 90, 8' exhibitor tables. There is parking for over 200 cars. The accessibility, lighting, and parking are all excellent!

Both locations provide Wi-Fi internet access to dealers and attendees free of charge.

Both shows afford the collecting community the ability to meet and speak to vendors from all over the country, and see a vast display of militaria from virtually all periods and wars.

Please refer to the show schedules for the dates and times
for each respective show.

Thank you for viewing this site and I think that attendance at either of the shows would be be a rewarding experience.

The results from the April 2008 show:

There were 172 exibitor tables at the show.
There were 808 paying adults and 27"let-ins" over the course of the 3 day show .

Attendance at the show was down slightly from the past show, due in-part to the soaring cost of gasoline and the poor state of the economy. Dealers did express the fact that sales were still very good and good money was made by them at the show.

A movie "trailer" for the MARVEL comic book super hero, "The PUNISHER" was filmed at the show, which proved to be very interesting to experience and see. Some of the dealers even had the opportunity to be filmed in the shoot.

Military Promotions, LLC wishes to thank all those that attended the show and we appreciate the support!

We also wish to thank all the new exhibitors who attended the show for the first time. They all stated that they liked the venue, the sales, and plan on returning to the show in the fall.
