E85: "The State of the Trade Show & Exhibition Industry with Phil Soar" #eventprofs

Listen Later

This week I spoke with exhibition industry veteran Phil Soar, who has built an empire of successful shows over the last 30 years and is the Chairman of b2b events organisers, CloserStill Media & Nineteen Group.

Discussion includes;

  • The pace of the recovery of the global trade show & exhibition industry post pandemic, including a discussion on the key findings of the Association of Venues, 2022 "size and scale index report" for the UK exhibition industry.
  • The recent merger and acquisition activity in the events & exhibitions sector, namely Informa's $940m acquisition of Tarsus, Providence's proposed takeover of Hyve Group Plc, and Blackstone's acquisition of Cvent.
  • Deglobalisation as being the next major threat to the trade show & exhibition industry.
