CEIR recently reported that data collected for the annual CEIR Index report for the first quarter of 2010 reveals that the exhibition industry experienced an overall decline of 4.0 percent when compared to the same quarter of 2009. However, the decline is much smaller compared to the 11.6 percent decline between the first quarter 2008 and the first quarter 2009. Although all four metrics measured (attendees, exhibitors, net square feet and revenue) still experienced declines, the percentages were not as deep in comparison to the same quarter in 2009. It is anticipated that slow growth will continue through 2010.
Tell us what you are experiencing. Are your events seeing growth? What are your concerns as we move into the last six months of 2010?
