Growth spurs exhibitor competition; trade show floor space increases at faster rate than attendance

Article Abstract:

Growth in the trade show industry has caused exhibitors to compete more for increased attendance, according to Exhibit Surveys Pres Skip Cox. Moreover, he said that size of shows is growing faster than the number of people who visit them. He cited a decrease in the average traffic density per 100 square feet of exhibit space since 1990. Also, attendees spent an average of 8.1 hours for the first 10 months of 1997, which is a decrease from 8.6 hours in all of 1996. Nevertheless, statistics show that average traffic is expected to be consistent within the range of 2.6 to 2.7 at the end of 1997.
