If you’re managing trade shows or events, you know the drill: endless deadlines, shifting requirements, and a tangle of emails, spreadsheets, and generic project tools. The stakes are high—every missed detail can mean lost leads, blown budgets, or a project that never quite delivers on its promise.

But here’s the truth: the old way isn’t working. And industry leaders are making the switch.


The Problem: Trade Shows Aren’t Like Other Projects

Unlike typical marketing or tech projects, trade show management is uniquely complex:

  • Multiple stakeholders: Clients, agencies, vendors, and logistics teams all need to stay in sync.

  • Tight timelines: Most projects run just 8–16 weeks, with little margin for error.

  • Constant change: Floorplans, vendor quotes, and schedules shift all the time.

  • Budget pressure: Every pound or dollar counts, and ROI is under the microscope.

Generic tools like Trello or Excel can’t keep up. They create silos, slow your team down, and leave you firefighting problems instead of delivering results.

That’s why more trade show professionals are turning to ExpoPlan.io—a platform designed specifically for the realities of event and exhibition project management.
