ACG-ITF The Trade Fairs Business Experts.

Trade fairs are pertinent means for marketing companies, brands, products and services.

Traditionally regarded as a forum for buying and selling, trade fairs are becoming an ideal platform for information exchange, education and networking. Rarely is an exhibition held without having conferences, seminars, working demonstrations or social events running in parallel.

The importance of trade fairs lies in the wealth they generate around them. Hotels, restaurants, shops, transport freight and many individual professionals, as well as many other businesses that benefit indirectly from them.

Trade Fairs use broadcast and press media, press conferences, direct mailing, websites, faxes, and e-mails to target both visitors and exhibitors, thus appealing to different readers and audiences.

Nowadays, trade fairs are becoming more highly targeted and catering to niche markets, as exhibiting companies target the most outcome from their marketing budget.

The ongoing use and development of new media and information and computer technologies is easing the organization of such events. Improvements have affected the participation process, the launching as well as the evaluation of exhibitions.

While the future promises many developments in trade and business, trade fairs will continue to serve as dynamic marketplaces, in which thousands of parties with shared interests can meet and conduct business.
