Trade show revenues in the second quarter of 2007 were up 11.3 percent compared with the second quarter of 2006, according to information released by the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR), reports MarketingCharts.

Also according to CEIR:

  • Total trade show revenue reached $2.65 billion in the second quarter. That’s down from the $2.94 billion in first-quarter revenues that CEIR reported.
  • Attendance at exhibitions increased 13.5 percent compared with 2Q06.
  • Net square footage increased 3.0 percent.
  • The number of exhibitors increased 4.5 percent.

Earlier this year, the CEIR Index reported the exhibition industry grew 4.8 percent in 2006 over 2005 levels - the fourth consecutive year of industry growth, though just slightly below the 5.8 percent gain posted by the industry in 2005 versus 2004.
