CHICAGO — Everyone in the industry turns to Trade Show Executive’s (TSE) annual Fastest 50 Awards & Summit, which recognizes the fastest-growing shows in the country. Fastest 50 honorees are also listed in TSE reports and receive waived registration for two top executives at the Fastest 50, which will take place at the Miami Beach Convention Center from May 1-3, 2023, with three days of education and networking topped off by a glamorous awards gala.
This year’s entries 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 under review. The 50 winners will be selected based on percentage of growth in each of the following categories: net square feet of paid exhibit space, number of exhibiting companies, and number of attendees.
The trade show must have taken place in person within the United States in 2022. Annual shows will be evaluated on percentage of growth from 2021 to 2022. If the show did not take place in person in 2021, the show will be evaluated on percentage of growth from the last in-person edition to 2022.
Biennial shows must have taken place in 2022 and will be evaluated on percentage of growth since the last show edition (2020). If the show did not take place in person in 2020, the show will be evaluated on percentage of growth from the last in-person edition to 2022.
The deadline for submitting the Fastest 50 entry form is December 30. You can find the entry form and additional Fastest 50 criteria at https://tradeshowexecutive.com/fastest50entry/
