Trade fairs and business events abroad

Start with your business goal. Then choose the event, meetings and itinerary.

A well-known trade fair can consume your budget without delivering the right contacts or a clear next step. We will identify relevant events, compare participation options, costs and business opportunities, then plan your trip.

Prepare your brief: Business events

Start with the decision you need to make now. For “Business events”, prepare four groups of information. Keep the current version of your materials and mark missing information as an open question rather than replacing it with an assumption.

Information for the review

Information for the reviewHow to record the starting data
subject and objectiveState the specific value, model or participants.
country and datesAttach a document, description or calculation if available.
participantsRecord the date and version of the information.
useful meeting criteriaIdentify constraints, discrepancies and missing evidence.

Agree the expected outcome

The discussion should focus on a plan for preparation, participation and follow-up actions. Clarify the subject, review depth, delivery format and actions requiring separate agreement. This checklist helps define the brief; the final scope is agreed when choosing the service and plan.

What should be clarified before work starts in this area?

For “Business events”, first reconcile subject and objective, country and dates, participants, useful meeting criteria. If materials describe different project versions, record the differences separately so the outcome relies on one agreed set of conditions.

What is needed before moving to the next stage?

Agree a plan for preparation, participation and follow-up actions. Keep the basis for the decision and unresolved questions. Timing and deliverables apply to the agreed scope; a similar project example does not confirm the conditions of your own project.

Before choosing an event

A famous name does not guarantee a useful trip

Choose an exhibition for your goal: sourcing, sales, partnerships, technology, market research or public participation. Then compare countries, dates, costs, admission rules and participants.

Sourcing and suppliers

You need factories, samples, prices, minimum order quantities and meetings with decision-makers.

Technology and production

Plan visits to stands and factories, expert meetings and technical discussions.

Deliverables

Can I register through Guri?

Guri helps choose participation options, collect information, check rules and prepare an application. Final registration and payment take place on the organiser’s official website unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

Why do some events have no exact price?

Some organisers release rates in stages or only inside their registration system. These listings state that the price is unpublished or depends on the selected package.

Can meetings be arranged before an exhibition?

Yes. Agree in advance on companies, participants’ roles, agendas, meeting times and a backup list. A response from an exhibitor or organiser cannot be guaranteed.

What does on-site support include?

The scope depends on the task: registration, interpreting, transport, venue navigation, meeting notes, supplier visits and contact follow-up after the event.

Can an exhibition be combined with factory visits?

Yes, when locations and dates allow. The itinerary includes travel time, factory checks, meetings and contingency time.

How current is the calendar?

The source snapshot dates to 30 August 2026. This is a reference calendar, not a live organiser feed. Dates, programmes, prices and admission rules must be checked again with the organiser before booking or payment.

Focus on business outcomes

Turn exhibition contacts into agreed follow-up actions.

Choose an event, verify participation options and costs, arrange meetings, plan travel and prepare meeting notes — from registration to the next business step.
