Live Feedback from Visitors
We have used the information we found on the TSNN website to help us plan which trade shows and local events we will attend. Your website and the information found on it have become a very valuable tool in which to help us meet our company's future growth needs in these times where the dollar is being stretched. We want to thank you for providing such great information on a very easy to use website.
Dr. Raya, Paladin Marketing Systems
We love your site and use it on a monthly basis to gather trade show information. I actually stumbled on it two years ago and shared it with our entire sales force (and my former co-workers at two other international companies) Thank you for the comprehensive site… I’m really surprised you don’t ‘charge’ for this information.
Lisa M. Corey, Sales Account Manager: Custom-Pak
I recently attended the ASI SHOW Orlando on the weekend of January 3rd - January 5th in Orlando, FL.The show was great and I was introduced to many new products.
Sultan Shakir, Rikahs Design
When potential customers are looking for shows other than ours, I immediately send them to your website.Your site helps me in providing good customer service to people.
Lisa Morris, Registration Support Leader: Reed Exhibitions
The news letters I get are very helpful. I just started a business and I'm new to the whole trade show scene so all the tips and information I get really help me feel confident that I can do this.
Jennifer Charlick, Spa Consultant: BeautiControl
I use TSNN to review what's happening in all the cities I visit in the USA. I recommend your site to my colleagues as well. Last year we exhibited or attended about 13 shows across the country.

The TSEA Survey Results Arrive On Exhibit Management
“What we learned from this survey is that the trade show industry outlook is far from bleak,” says TSEA President and CEO Margit Weisgal. “While spending is down, it's not drastic because the value of trade shows is indisputable — they produce revenue.”
Important Findings from the Survey:
- Exhibitors attended an average of 30 trade shows in 2008 and expect to attend 25 in 2009
- Trade shows will account for one third of an organization’s overall marketing budget in 2009
- Budgets for exhibiting will decrease from an average $459,100 in 2008 to $381,000 in 2009
- Corporate private event spending will decrease 30% from 2008 to 2009
- Spending for medical/healthcare/pharmaceutical industry events will increase 5% in 2009, but spending for technology shows will decrease 46%
- Only half of exhibitors surveyed offer staff training programs
- The average industry salary was almost 25% higher for males than females
