A trade show, also called an expo or trade fair, is an exhibition where companies display and demonstrate their products and services to buyers, partners and the media. Most are business-to-business events focused on one industry, though some expos are open to the public.
Check whether the show is trade-only or open to the public, register online in advance (often free for trade visitors), and use the exhibitor list to plan which stands to visit. Book hotels early, as big shows fill nearby hotels.
