Exhibition organisers plan and manage events where businesses, public bodies or specialist groups present products, services and information to visitors. They may produce trade shows, consumer exhibitions, conferences with exhibition areas, or smaller displays, working with clients to define the event's purpose, audience, format and schedule. Their work can include selecting and booking a suitable venue, arranging dates and coordinating the event budget. Typical services include recruiting exhibitors and sponsors, allocating stand space, preparing floor plans and exhibitor guidance, and coordinating stand construction, furniture, signage, lighting and utilities. Organisers may also arrange visitor registration, ticketing, event programmes, speakers, catering, security, cleaning and transport of equipment. They commonly handle event promotion and communications with exhibitors and visitors before and during the event.
