The results are in, 46% of readers say that the number/quality of exhibitors is a deciding factor when choosing to attend a trade show
Last week TRAVELHotNews Western Edition asked readers to vote on what would make them decide to attend a trade show. Forty-six per cent of the readers who voted said that the number/quality of exhibitors would make them decide to attend a trade show. Coming in second with 38 per cent of the vote was all the above (quality of food and drink, the number/quality of exhibitors and educational seminars) as a reason for attending a trade show. Tied for third place with only eight per cent of the vote was educational seminars and “nothing would make me go to another trade show.” No one voted for quality of food or drink as a deciding factor to attend a trade show. Keep reading TRAVELHotNews Western edition for next week’s poll question.
