How does the tradefair service finder work?

To explain clearly how our search engine works, I propose to go through the steps that Expopedia search engine users have to follow.

See Take the tour

  1. First you state your home country of your company
  2. And then your profile of your company (are you a looking for a supplier as a visitor of an exhibition, an exhibitor or an organiser ? Or even as a fellow supplier: then you choose your companies activity)
  3. Choose what activity (service) you are looking for ?
  4. Where do you need it (country) ?
  5. Near which city?
  6. At which venue ?

Then you click the Search button

You will get a search result list with local suppliers (and possibly international suppliers). The map shows you where the suppliers in the list are located (blue dot) and the location of the venue (red dot).
The result list of resources at the chosen venue is sorted by distance to the venue. You can change this ascending of descending, but also sort suppliers by name, city, country.
If you click a blue dot, you get a link to a suppliers’ profile.
If you click the red dot, you get a link to the venue’s profile.
If you click a supplier in the list, you get the suppliers profile.

What does it cost?

Expopedia offers you an annual membership with a fee that depends on the scale of your profile.

Interested in your annual fee? Good news we offer you the possibility to calculate your payment plan upfront without any restrictions.

Activities (services), regions and venues

For each activity (service) the price is calculated by the amount of regions and venues you choose.
Prices are fixed by region, including one free activity (service) and venue.
Your profile can always be adapted or expanded after order.

Interested in our payment plan? Use our calculator to examine our pricing in detail

For example: you are a stand constructor in France and you provide your services in Paris, Lyon, Dijon and Strasbourg. For the moment we selected 19 venues for these cities. If you buy them all, for the activity (service) stand contruction custom build, you will pay: 840€. If you are a member of the professional association and your association is cooperating with expopedia, then you receive a discount of 40% on this price ...
This price beats every page ad in a national exhibition magazine (which is local, one time view, and for the subscribers only).

A greener exhibition world?

Our aim comprises several objectives:

Increase the Efficiency of Exposition-Related Activities

We are convinced that you too, and your members with you, are fed up to the back teeth with lengthy traffic-jams, continuously increasing transport costs and lost man-hours. Efficiency undoubtedly must be increased in our branch and we want to achieve this by matching international demand and local resources.

Better International Cooperation between Local Suppliers

International cooperation between local suppliers must improve; there are no two ways about that subject. It is one of our major aims to optimize this cooperation.

Rational Organization of Orders and Deliveries

We strive for a rational organization of orders and deliveries...

Find Local Suppliers

... and we wish to make it easier to find local service suppliers by the efficient use of our tradefair service finder. We explain further on how this precisely works.

Optimize the Supply and Removal Flows

Expopedia wishes to optimize the supply and removal flows by a better organization and follow-up when setting up and breaking down fairs and exhibitions...

Less Superfluous Transports

... and by avoiding by all means unnecessary and distant transports.

Decrease the Environmental Impact

The foregoing must lead to what plays an extremely important role in present-day society, viz. decrease the environmental impact of the activities in our branch and thereby increase social acceptance.

What about languages?

Of course the suppliers should publish their profile in english. Besides english they can choose more than one supplementary language to publish their profile. It is opportune to publish in the native languages of the countries where you have bought your venues.
The current languages provided are listed in the languages section.
We work together with the national professional associations to translate our website content & terms in their native language.

Why should I fill out my venue profile?

Because the more information you publish, the more information will be found about your venue.
And a venue profile is for FREE!

Is this tradefair service finder not a competition for the local venue suppliers services toolboxes?

Show organizers can also promote their venue through Expopedia, i.e. by affiliating and placing a link to the trade fair manual or service leaflet. If they offer e.g. services such as stand construction, furniture rental or electricity material, they can add their service leaflet to their MyExpopedia profile under these specific activities at their own venue. And their services will be the first to be found at their venue because they are sorted geographically.

Who Are We? What Do We Do?

Expopedia is an international organization born from the experience of international professionals in the T&E-branch of industry, specialized in fairs, congresses and exhibitions. We realize that there is a need for a better international cooperation between service suppliers from our branch on the one hand and for a simple way to expose exhibitors to local service suppliers on the other hand.
Therefore, Expopedia developed an internet site with tradefair service finder.
This tradefair service finder is a user-friendly and logically composed instrument that can be used free of charge by several types of visitors: trade fair and exhibition organizers, visitors of these events, congress visitors and speakers, exhibitors, meeting organizers, building managers, stand constructors and service suppliers.
The tradefair service finder is meant to easily find products and services one need on fairs, exhibitions and events, all over the world. Later, we will explain you all the functions of this tradefair service finder.
