Planning guides

Plan your next trade show

All planning guides
  • How show cycles and moving dates affect planningBiennial fairs, shows that change month or venue, and brands with editions in several countries all affect how far ahead you can plan. How to read a show's cycle.
  • Checking official show dates before booking travelConfirm the edition, match the date range to your role, check the building as well as the city, and resolve conflicts before you commit to non-refundable travel.
  • Shipping exhibition equipment abroadSort goods by what will happen to them, choose the right customs route for the outbound and return journeys, and plan handling at the venue as carefully as the freight.
  • Understanding attendance and exhibitor figuresVisits are not visitors, a venue's floor area is not a show's, and a forecast is not a result. How to read the numbers organisers publish.
  • Planning an overseas exhibition budgetSeparate what the event costs from the cash, people and responsibilities needed to deliver it in another country, and price the itinerary you will really use.
  • Choosing an international trade showStart with the buyer you need to meet, then compare shows on audience evidence, admission rules, venue logistics and what happens after the event.

For organisers and venues

List or claim your trade show

Organisers and venues can submit a free listing or claim an existing profile. Every change is reviewed before publication, and any sponsored placement is clearly labelled.

Every listing links to its official source, and corrections and removal requests are always free. How we check listings

About the directory

About this trade show directory

How the calendar works, how to compare locations and sectors, and where to start planning an exhibit.

Use the trade show calendar

Use the trade show calendar to identify upcoming events that match your market. Each show record gives the date, city, venue, organiser and published audience, with a link to the official source. The directory is a discovery tool, so book stands, tickets and travel with the organiser.

Compare countries and locations

Explore international exhibitions by location, then compare the audience and travel requirements. A new market may offer potential, so check whether the show reaches the buyer you need. Find events in the country you want to reach, then use the month view to compare dates.

Search by industry or show name

Search by industry or show name to narrow your shortlist. A conference may include an exhibition, so check the format and access arrangements before assuming it offers the same opportunities as a trade fair.

Plan the exhibit

Choose the show before you plan the exhibit. Our guides cover checking dates, comparing attendance figures, budgeting and shipping equipment abroad. Consider booth size, graphic production, stand design, freight and local handling as part of the same process. Ask which services the organiser includes and which your company must arrange separately. Build a realistic logistics budget before you reserve space. A guide to attendance figures helps you judge the audience rather than assuming the largest display or busiest hall is the best investment.
