An Exhibition and Event Audit is an objective, third party confirmation of attendance claims and attendee demographics.
The audit provides accountability and assures event participants that the numbers being presented about the event are accurate and impartial. Endorsed by the Exhibition and Event Association of Australia (EEAA), the CAB Exhibition and Event Audit provides the only independent third-party verification of an event's attendance and demographic data that delivers credibility and proof of attendance.
See the CAB website » for more information

In 2010 XPO has discounted advertising in the show guide dramatically to encourage exhibitors to advertise and preview their product to the Buyers. Giving you another form of medium to promote your presence at the Gift Shows.
The Gift Buyers Guide will be posted to visitors two weeks leading up to the Gift Fair. 10,000 copies will be printed of the Autumn Guide, 5,000 for Winter and 10,000 for Spring Gift.
Why not take up the opportunity of utilising your 1/4 page fee and upgrading to a more prominent ad, for example a half or full page to promote your product? Enabling buyers to view your products before the Gift Fair commences.
The product showcase will continue in 2008. The cost is $100 if you have display advertising, and $250 with no display advertising. This is fantastic value for money to promote and highlight your product to buyers - especially if you have a new product in the new year.
