Predict, CEIR’s Annual Exhibition Industry Outlook Conference brings together executives in the B2B exhibitions industry to learn about and discuss emerging trends likely to impact trade shows and trade fairs three to five years out. The conference is designed with an outward looking approach, bringing in perspectives from forward-thinking experts to stretch one’s thinking.

The Predict program is focused on supporting the viability and resiliency of the B2B exhibitions industry through insights on market and economic trends presented by experts outside of the industry as well as industry peers, deep dive discussions and new perspectives to shift the conversation from what worked in the past to what is needed for future success.

The 2024 conference was designed to provide insights on trends now, and into the future and covered the following:

  • Insights on the economy, geopolitics, and exhibitions
  • Geopolitical landscape and its impact
  • The future of risk
  • The future of AI in exhibitions and events
  • Decoding the AI revolution
  • Navigating the 2024 Election Impact on exhibitions and events

How is Predict different from other business conferences?

Predict offers the perfect mix of discussions that incorporate two types of forecasting models that can be used to prepare for the future:  quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative data is observed in the CEIR Index model identifying patterns and trends from industry data points including net square feet, number of exhibitors, attendance, real revenue and more.  Qualitative models are observed through partnerships with thought leaders with deep market research that is applicable and can affect the future of the industry in regards to attendee engagement, user experiences and more. Predict will provide you with information to help position your trade shows, and your company, for success.

Executives from the following organizations will be attending the 2025 Predict Conference.
