CHICAGO—ProMat 2025, the crown jewel of manufacturing and supply chain events, is returning to McCormick Place from March 17–20, and this year’s challenge has attendees stomping their way into history: navigate the 660,000-square-foot show floor in an inflatable dinosaur costume. Even if no one else is dressed like a prehistoric logistics legend, don’t let that stop you—you’re setting a new trend.

Combining cosplay flair with no-nonsense supply chain solutions, this bold move ensures you’ll stand out at every meeting, keynote, and networking session. “There’s no faster way to command attention than waddling into a risk management seminar in a T-Rex suit,” said one ProMat veteran.
Inflatable Options for Every Supply Chain Hero
Can’t find an inflatable dinosaur costume? No problem. Inflatable chickens are equally welcome and arguably just as effective in asserting dominance over the world of last-mile logistics. With every step, you'll combine whimsy with cutting-edge solutions, reminding everyone that true innovation means thinking outside the box (or inside the costume).
Why Stop at Just Walking?
ProMat 2025 is the perfect backdrop for your creative cosplay debut. Pose with forklifts, deliver awkward high-fives, and take over the new Lakeside Hall while turning heads (or tails) in exhibits focused on sustainability and transportation.
Key Tips for Inflatable Costume Success:
Own It: Even if no one else is playing along, your confidence will turn you into a networking magnet.
Stay Cool: That built-in fan is your lifeline. Treat it like your favorite logistics partner: reliable and battery-powered.
Embrace the Chaos: Accidentally swipe someone with your inflatable tail? That’s just your way of breaking the ice.

ProMat 2025 Schedule Highlights:
Monday, March 17 – Wednesday, March 19: 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Thursday, March 20: 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Lakeside Hall opens early at 9:00 a.m. daily, giving early birds—or early chickens—a head start on the show floor.
Inflatable Costumes: Your All-Access Pass
Whether you're tackling transportation exhibits, chatting with vendors, or casually stealing the spotlight during a keynote session, inflatable costumes are your golden ticket to unrestricted access. “There’s no meeting you can’t crash in a T-Rex or chicken suit,” said an MHI spokesperson. “No one questions you. They’re too busy laughing.”
The Verdict:
ProMat 2025 isn’t just a trade show—it’s a platform for innovation, education, and inflatable domination. So suit up, hit the show floor, and make history one hilarious, tail-wagging step at a time.
