THE FAIR CALENDAR · A LIKE® MAGAZINE DEPARTMENT
TRADE SHOWS
The great fairs — where industries show what they make, buyers place the year's orders, and cities from Munich to Guangzhou measure themselves in halls and halls of other people's products. LIKE® Trade Shows maps the world circuit sector by sector: who organises each fair, who leads the organiser, how large the fair verifiably is, and how a company takes a stand in it.
THE WORLDWIDE GUIDE
THE WORLDWIDE GUIDE · OCTOBER 2026
THE WORLD'S TRADE SHOWS
42 fairs in 11 countries — CES, Hannover Messe and bauma; the Canton Fair and the Paris Air Show; MEDICA, MIPIM and the Salone del Mobile — each with its organiser, its organiser's leadership verified to October 2026, its published scale where one exists, its next edition as published, and its route in for exhibitors and trade visitors. The gaps are named, never padded.
More Trade Shows guides will join this department — beginning with the great regional fairs of Asia and the Americas, and the sector fairs of energy, logistics and print.
