 What are trade
shows?
A trade show is an event held to bring together
members of a particular industry to display,
demonstrate, and discuss their latest products and
services. Major trade shows usually take place in
convention centers in larger cities and last several
days. Local trade shows may be held at a local arena
or hotel and allow businesses in the area to connect
with prospects.
Since the purpose is to bring together members of
the trade – or industry – most trade shows, which
may also be referred to as trade fairs or expositions,
only permit industry members to attend.
What are trade
shows?
Trade shows often provide:
Exhibit space
Workshops or presentations
Opportunities to interact with the media
Evening networking events
Private exhibitor events
Awards presentations
Exhibitors participate in the hopes of connecting
with potential new customers, reinforcing
relationships with dealers and distributors, and
networking with influencers and the media.
Attendees come to trade shows to become familiar
with the latest products being introduced, to take
advantage of special “show prices” from exhibitors,
and to become better educated about their industry.
