Government Fleet Expo & Conference 2014 earned a spot in Trade Show Executive magazine’s list of 50 fastest-growing trade shows.
Each year, the magazine honors the 50 fastest-growing shows in three categories, including net square feet (nsf) of paid exhibit space, number of exhibiting companies, and total attendance. GFX made the attendance growth category list.
While the benchmark growth for the average trade show in 2014 was 1.3% in attendance, the Fastest 50Class of 2014 beat that by a huge margin, growing an average of 17.4% in attendance. This means the growth rates of the Fastest 50 averaged from 6X to 13X the typical show held in the U.S. in 2014.
“I was excited to learn that GFX earned a place on this list. We’ve seen exponential growth in the last three years, and this only solidifies GFX as the choice for public fleet professionals,” said Eric Bearly, publisher of Government Fleet, the media sponsor of the event.
Government Fleet Expo & Conference 2015 will take place in Denver on June 8-11.
