About organisation of conventions and trade shows
NACE code 82.3 covers the organisation of conventions, trade shows, and exhibitions. This industry plays a vital role in facilitating business interactions, knowledge sharing, and market development across a wide range of economic sectors. By providing platforms for companies to showcase their products and services, connect with potential customers, and network with industry peers, the convention and trade show industry supports the growth and competitiveness of businesses both locally and globally.
Production process
The key activities involved in organising conventions and trade shows include venue selection, event planning and logistics, marketing and promotion, exhibitor management, and on-site coordination. Organisers work closely with venues, suppliers, and exhibitors to ensure the smooth running of these events, from the initial conceptualisation to the final execution.
Production inputs
The convention and trade show industry relies on a variety of inputs, including event venues, audio-visual equipment, catering services, promotional materials, and a skilled workforce of event planners, project managers, and support staff. Organisers also require strong relationships with industry associations, exhibitors, and other stakeholders to successfully deliver these events.
Production outputs
The primary output of the convention and trade show industry is the events themselves, which provide a platform for businesses to 82.99 Other business support service activities n.e.c., 46.1 Wholesale on a fee or contract basis, and 47.1 Retail sale in non-specialised stores to engage with their target markets. These events can also generate significant economic activity in the local communities that host them, through increased tourism, hospitality, and related services.
