Trade shows are one of the earliest marketing channels. According to Wikipedia, the first such gatherings date all the way back to medieval times to the “Champagne Fairs” in France that brought together merchants from all over Europe. Today, there are over 10,000 trade shows from small to mega trade shows across the entire globe and spanning all industries. From “World Fairs” that usher in new technology to the clothing industry with shows like MAGIC in Las Vegas that have defined modern commerce and trade. However, a lot of people will ask “Do Trade Show Really Work?” or are they a waste of time?
