"CEIR's research reports are insightful, and they keep our industry informed on what's trending with each of our constituents - attendees, exhibitors, and suppliers," noted CEIR Research Council Chairperson Ian Sequeira, Vice President of Research and Measurement, Freeman.

The objective research produced by CEIR adheres to market research best practices and is designed to inform a broad range of exhibition industry constituents including B2B exhibition organizers, corporate marketers, M&A firms, venues and more. All primary research beyond the CEIR Index and Census is conducted by Nancy Drapeau, PRC, VP of Research, who has an extensive background in the exhibitions industry. Secondary research may also be curated to provide unique insights not provided in the primary research.

"The Research Council is vital to the research CEIR produces," said CEIR CEO Cathy Breden, CMP, CAE, CEM. "Through the broad experience and extensive knowledge of individuals serving on the Council the research is thoroughly vetted and the information published statistically valid through our strict research practices."
