16 Week Tradeshow Planning Tool

To give yourself enough time to execute a productive and profitable exhibiting program, ideally, you should be contracted and start planning about 16 weeks before the event.

To get the most out of your investment in tradeshows, it's critical to balance logistics with strategy. A lot of exhibit managers spend 95% of their pre-show time on getting the space, the booth, the products and the people there, into, up down, and back from the show. They spend 5% or less on the critical strategic issues that determine whether the show ends up as an expensive appearance or profitable investment.
