CHICAGO — Industry leaders turn to Trade Show Executive’s (TSE) annual Fastest 50 Awards & Summit, which honors the nation’s fastest-growing trade shows. Fastest 50 honorees are also featured in TSE reports and receive a registration waiver for two executives to the Fastest 50, which will be held at the Miami Beach Convention Center May 1-3, 2023, with three days of education and networking capped by a glamorous awards gala.
Applications for this year are now open. Only in-person trade shows are considered; shows must have a minimum of 15,000 net square feet of paid exhibit space for both years. The 50 winners will be selected based on percentage growth in each of the following categories: net square feet of paid exhibit space, number of exhibiting companies, and number of attendees.
The show must have been held in person in the United States in 2022. Annual shows will be evaluated by percentage growth from 2021 to 2022. If the show was not held in person in 2021, the show will be evaluated by percentage growth from the last in-person event to 2022.
Biennial exhibitions must have taken place in 2022 and will be evaluated as a percentage of growth since the last edition of the exhibition (2020). If the exhibition was not held in person in 2020, the exhibition will be evaluated as a percentage of growth since the last in-person edition through 2022.
The deadline to submit the Fastest 50 entry form is December 30. You can find the Fastest 50 entry form and additional criteria at https://tradeshowexecutive.com/fastest50entry/
