Forced to contend with a slowly recovering global economy and pressure to deliver bottom-line results, corporate brand-side marketers and show producers are increasingly integrating digital media into their face-to-face activities. Findings from the 2010 Digital + Exhibit Marketing Insights report by the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) in partnership with George P. Johnson Experience Marketing and co-produced by The Jordan, Edmiston Group, Inc., show that respondents are more actively exploring the application of digital media to their events and lining up the tools and talent to capitalize on the opportunities available. Clearly, the exhibition industry is finding digital, in its many forms, to be an excellent means of increasing reach and improving efficiency. Interestingly, exhibition and event marketers seem to be using conventional digital communication methods, such as e-mail and website platforms, to build new tactics, such as social media, choosing incremental integration over outright revolution.

JEGI is pleased to announce the release of the 2010 CEIR Exhibition Industry Index Report (CEIR Index), covering the years 2000 to 2009. More than 300 events contributed to this annual report, which is a leading provider of exhibition industry performance data across 11 key market sectors, and the number of respondents grows each year. As Title Sponsor, JEGI utilized its years of experience analyzing the exhibition industry to provide year-over-year analysis of exhibition performance for each industry sector, as well as editing and overseeing preparation of the full report.In 2009, the exhibition industry declined a record-level (12.5%) versus 2008, and three of the four key industry metrics (Net Square Feet; Exhibitors; and Revenue) decreased more than 10% for the year. Attendance, the fourth key industry metric, declined 8.3% in 2009 versus 2008. However, the industry overall has considerably more hope and optimism now, than it had at this time last year or even six months ago. Many tradeshow industry senior executives and owners have said that their shows are performing significantly better than expected in 2010, especially in regards to attendance.Attached is an Executive Summary of the CEIR Index.
