Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tradeshows.FYI?

Tradeshows.FYI is an independent library of trade show guides for exhibitors, attendees, show organizers, service providers, and venues. Each guide lists the sources it draws on, so you can check the details yourself.

What is a trade show?

A trade show is an event where companies in one industry exhibit their products and services to buyers, partners, and media, usually in a convention center or expo hall over one to several days. Start with the trade show basics guide.

How do I find trade shows in my industry?

Search by industry, city, and date in the Trade Show Event Directory, then vet each event with the steps in how to find the right trade shows.

How much does it cost to exhibit at a trade show?

Booth space is only one line of the budget. Displays, shipping and material handling, travel, staffing, and promotion often add up to more than the space itself. The trade show budget guide breaks down each cost line.

Is Tradeshows.FYI free to use?

Yes. Every guide is free to read. Some links may earn a commission, which is explained in the disclosure.
