TradeShows.com is independently owned and operated. We disclose every commercial relationship and explain exactly how we make money without compromising editorial integrity.
TradeShows.com is an independent trade show directory, exhibitor resource, and event management software comparison site. We are not owned by any event management software vendor, trade show organiser, or venue operator. Our editorial decisions are made independently.
TradeShows.com earns revenue through affiliate commissions and sponsored vendor listings. When you click a link to an EMS platform (Cvent, Whova, Bizzabo, GlueUp, Eventbrite, RingCentral Events, vFairs, Accelevents) and subsequently purchase or sign up, we may receive a commission from that vendor. The price you pay is never affected.
Vendors can also pay to appear in our Vendor Directory tiers ($299, $999, and $2,499/year). Paid placements are always labelled clearly. Paid placement does not influence editorial rankings or recommendations in our guides and comparison pages.
Our EMS recommendations are based on independent research including user reviews, pricing transparency, feature set, customer support quality, and suitability for different show types and sizes. We do not accept payment to improve editorial rankings. We update recommendations when products materially change.
Affiliate links on this site carry rel="noopener sponsored" attributes in HTML. These links comply with FTC guidelines on endorsement disclosure and Google's link scheme policies.
