EXHIBITORLIVE 2027

How it compares

Expo! Expo! sits on the other side of the exhibition business. IAEE’s annual gathering in Milwaukee brings together the exhibition industry’s buyers and sellers around a marketplace and professional education. Its 2025 show drew 1,800 participants and 230 exhibiting companies. It is a strong choice for an organizer evaluating the infrastructure of a show, while EXHIBITORLIVE speaks more directly to the corporate marketer deciding how to exhibit at one. An exhibit house serving both groups can have a reason to attend both.

For a software-led buying project, Event Tech Live London offers a more concentrated comparison. Its November gathering at Excel London combines event technology suppliers, stages focused on AI, marketing, and engagement, and a hosted buyer program with matched meetings. That structure suits a team comparing platforms across the event workflow. EXHIBITORLIVE is the more rounded trip when software is only one part of the brief and modular construction, graphics, logistics, and staffing also matter.

The deciding question is which professional problem the trip needs to solve. EXHIBITORLIVE is particularly relevant when supplier selection and the skills to run a corporate exhibit program belong to the same project. Its CTSM connection makes the education a continuing path through professional development.

EXHIBITORLIVE is the right trip for corporate exhibit teams that need to improve their program and meet the suppliers who will deliver it.

Who exhibits

Aluvision’s modular systems and LED solutions illustrate how much of the floor concerns the exhibit itself. The wider roster puts companies such as Classic Exhibits, Spiro, Cvent, and Captello alongside freight, furniture, lighting, and graphics providers. That mix lets an exhibit team consider the physical environment and the visitor experience together. EDPA and ESCA also have directory listings, placing the industry’s professional associations within the same supplier conversation.

EXHIBITORLIVE 2027

EXHIBITORLIVE 2027 moves the gathering from Tampa to Denver. The program introduces exhibit-hall sessions that are open to all attendees and count toward CTSM, bringing education into the supplier showcase. The Square continues as the central meeting point, with professional headshots and meet-ups for the Superpower groups. The welcome reception takes place on the exhibition floor, while the CTSM reception and graduation give the education community its own gathering.

• For CTSM progress, include the exhibit-hall theater sessions in your course plan; these sessions now earn credit and are open to every attendee.
• Use The Square’s Superpower group meet-ups to find peers with similar roles; the attendee app carries the group notifications.
• First-time attendees have a dedicated reception, and the first-timer badge icon is the admission credential.

Exhibiting

The floor suits suppliers of exhibit structures, event production, logistics, and technology selling to corporate event teams. Space pricing varies with footprint, with a separate corner charge except for islands. Manufacturers, dealers, and suppliers have dedicated Strategic Partner Hours. Sponsorship options include an Innovation Tour stop and exhibit-floor thought-leadership sessions, giving suppliers ways to demonstrate their work beyond the stand.
