Industry Issues

Exercising collaboration between show organizers and exhibitors to make the exhibit hall compelling, cost conscience and valuable.

Exhibitors who are being proactive in re-inventing how they weave education and science into their exhibit experience to attract HCPs.

Ongoing evolution of turning exhibit halls into ecosystems of clinical and scientific exploration for HCPs.

Success Trends

The industry continues to rise to the challenge of re-inventing the medical meeting and exhibition experience.
