Industry News Archives
A trade show is an event where companies that are involved in a certain industry gather to exhibit their products and services, engage with each other to discuss current trends in their industry, and gain knowledge about their competitors.
The trade show industry provides opportunities for selling, reinforcing existing business relationships, and launching new products. Trade shows can range in size from small regional shows featuring fewer than two dozen participants to massive national shows, which may draw hundreds of exhibitors and tens of thousands of visitors over a period of several days to a week.
Our articles involving the trade show industry aim to bring insight to ongoing, recent, and important events happening all the time.
