About the Research: The Trade Show Trends Report is based on results of
audience surveys conducted by Exhibit Surveys Inc. of Red Bank, NJ, for 48
trade shows held in 2004. Each survey was administered by mail or the Internet
shortly after the show. In most cases, exhibit personnel are excluded from
the sample. Survey response rates are typically 10 to 40 percent. Deana Parker
of Exhibit Surveys assisted with data collection for this report.
