The Exhibit Surveys folks have created a great White Paper -Looking past the recession: Exhibition strategies for the interim.  In it they detail our current economic situation and what exhibitors must consider for the near term.

Synopsis: Exhibitions are down, but far from out. Real time findings from the current recession indicate cause for optimism, including sustained audience quality levels. Also, even though exhibitor budgets are down and will likely trail the recovery, the perceived value of exhibitions as a marketing tool not only remains intact but is enhanced in terms of its role within the vogue of “experiential marketing.” While discernment of the depth, duration, and breadth of this recession is still difficult, metrics that track the health of the industry and the economy show hints of a turnaround that may begin late this year. In the meantime there are strategic moves the industry can employ, particularly in terms of its key constituencies, as it rides out the storm so it may exploit the coming recovery period from a position of strength.
