Best-Remembered Exhibits of 2005

Each year, Exhibit Surveys Inc., a market-research firm in Red Bank, NJ, asks trade show attendees from a wide range of industries the following question: “What three exhibits attracted your attention the most?”

Respondents to the online and U.S. mail surveys are expected to name memorable exhibits on their own. (No exhibitor lists are provided.) Exhibit Surveys then asks them to choose from a list of reasons why they found those exhibits memorable, including product interest, product demonstration, well-known company, exhibit color/design, exhibit personnel, stage/theater presentations, product literature, and giveaways.

Here are the top 10 best-remembered exhibits from this year's survey in two categories: shows smaller than 200,000 square feet and shows larger than 200,000 square feet.
