All CEIR members know how important the data submission process is for the annual CEIR Index.  Without show data from organizers, Index analysis would not be possible.  I’m positive those who have reported their data using CEIR’s online tool before would attest to the rapid and easy nature of doing so. CEIR only needs six key pieces of information about events that occurred in 2009: 

  1. Event Date
  2. Event Location
  3. Total NSF of Exhibit Space
  4. Total Exhibiting Companies
  5. Total Professional Attendance
  6. Total Revenue

This is data that I’m sure most organizers know by heart.

In order to obtain a FREE electronic copy of this year’s Index publication (emailed to you at the address you provide upon submission), data must be tendered to CEIR by this Friday, 5 February 2010.   

If you have not already done so, please click here and submit your event’s information today!

And remember, as always, all event data submitted (including, of course, revenue!) is kept completely confidential by Veris Consulting, LLC. 

 

CEIR THANKS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
