We’ve put together a list of what we think is really important in determining a “good” trade exhibition.

• established and proven track record
• well known and regarded by people in the industry and the market
• availability of detailed and professional statistics and event report (a good web site is mandatory)
• far reaching promotional campaign
• excellent organisation – the official event’s website, promotional materials, response time from the organisers and their helpfulness/level of service
• testimonials from past exhibitors
• big is not always best
• International Accreditation ( UFI- The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry in Paris)
