| It is very difficult to determine the Top 100 – every list on every website is different based on attendance, number of exhibitors, top industries at a particular moment in time. Based on the clients we have serviced this past year, and some undercover detective work – here is a list of shows everyone should be looking at today. Remember we always suggest crossing over to a new industry. As examples we have clients that sell cameras that do not just go to CES, rather they go to 25 shows a year all over the show database. In most cases they are the only people from their category and have overwhelming response from both Attendees and exhibitors.
Remember shows change months all of the time and venue cities as well. We will be updating once a month to keep this list current. Take some time and if you have questions feel free to call Jan at 714-685-2813 and we can talk about show selection!
