Industrial, technical and engineering exhibitions in 2018

Exhibition and trade show season is almost upon us with the majority of events kicking off in Spring. Exhibitions and trade shows present a valuable sales and marketing opportunity for many manufacturing, engineering and industrial companies. Exhibitions are a great way to raise brand awareness, increase sales, target specific industry sectors, meet prospects and customers, and launch new products or services.

Searching for relevant trade shows to consider is time-consuming and endless (we know - we've done it for this blog post!). Below is a list of upcoming exhibitions, trade shows and conferences to help you plan potential events to exhibit at, or visit to check it out for future years:
