Everything you need to work the show

Exhibitor data your team can use the day it lands.

  • Exhibitor contact data

    Company name, website, booth number, business email, direct dial and job title for the people who make buying decisions at each exhibiting company — not a generic info@ inbox.

  • Global coverage

    3,064 trade shows across 55 countries and 29 industries, from CES and GITEX to regional shows most list vendors never index. 1159 shows are still upcoming.

  • Same-day delivery

    Lists arrive as CSV and Excel with a documented column layout, UTF-8 encoded and de-duplicated. They import into any mainstream CRM or outreach tool without cleanup.

  • Bounce replacement

    Report hard bounces within 7 days of delivery and we replace those records or credit them back. No arguments, no support ticket queue.

What's in an exhibitor list

Every list is built around the exhibiting company and the people inside it who matter to you. Here is each field and why it earns its place in the file.

  • Company name and website

    The anchor record. Lets you match against your CRM before you spend anything, so you know how much of the show you already cover.

  • Booth or stand number

    Turns a cold email into a specific one. "We'll be two aisles from stand 4C-18" gets replies that "let's connect at the show" never will.

  • Show, edition and hall

    Tells you which event and which year a company exhibited at, so you can separate first-time exhibitors from ten-year regulars.

  • Contact name and job title

    Named people in commercial roles — marketing directors, sales heads, product and procurement leads — so your message reaches someone with a budget line.

  • Business email

    Role-relevant work addresses. Generic catch-all inboxes are flagged separately so you can exclude them from sequences instead of burning sender reputation on them.

  • Direct dial and switchboard

    Phone coverage for the accounts worth calling. Useful for booking on-stand meetings in the two weeks before a show, when email volume peaks and reply rates fall.

  • LinkedIn profile URL

    Lets you warm a contact before you email, and gives your SDRs a second channel when the first one goes quiet.

  • HQ address, city and country

    Route records to the right rep, respect regional outreach rules, and build territory splits without manual research.

  • Employee size band

    Basic firmographic filtering so a 40-person startup and a 40,000-person manufacturer don't get the same pitch.

  • Industry and product category

    What the company actually sells at the show. The fastest way to cut a 5,000-exhibitor list down to the 300 accounts you can realistically serve.

  • Exhibiting history

    Which past editions a company appeared at. Repeat exhibitors have proven event budget; lapsed exhibitors are a live win-back list.

Who uses exhibitor lists, and what for

An exhibitor list is a pre-qualified account list. Every company on it has spent money to be in a room with buyers in your market — which tells you more about intent than any firmographic filter.

  • B2B sales teams

    Build a territory list of companies that are demonstrably investing in growth this quarter. Exhibitors have budget, a launch to promote and a reason to take a meeting in the four weeks around the show.

  • Event marketers and organisers

    Recruit exhibitors for your own show from the companies already exhibiting at adjacent events, and see which brands are active in a category before you commit to a floor plan.

  • Exhibitors targeting co-exhibitors

    If you're on the floor too, the other 4,000 stands are your warmest market. Book stand-to-stand meetings in advance instead of hoping the right person walks past.

  • Agencies and lead-gen firms

    Run event-triggered campaigns for clients without spending a week scraping directories. Segment one show by country, industry and company size and you have several campaigns from a single file.

  • Recruiters and talent teams

    Exhibiting companies are usually hiring — sales, engineering and marketing headcount follows trade-show spend. Named contacts and titles make a targeted approach possible.

  • Suppliers to the events industry

    Stand builders, AV, logistics, printing, hospitality and travel suppliers get a list of every company committed to a show, months before they finalise supplier bookings.

From list to pipeline

A show floor is not a target list yet

Most of a big exhibitor list is not your market. The useful part is what survives your own filters.

Freshness

How the data is kept current

Exhibitor data decays fast. Companies withdraw weeks before a show, stands change hands, and the marketing manager who booked the booth leaves three months later. Here is how we handle that.

  1. 01

    Each edition is its own dataset

    A show's 2027 list is built and maintained separately from its 2026 list. We do not resell last year's file as this year's — where a current line-up has not published yet, the page says so and shows the most recent completed edition, labelled as such.

  2. 02

    Records carry a last-checked date

    Every list ships with the date its records were most recently reviewed, so you can judge freshness yourself rather than taking a marketing claim on trust.

  3. 03

    Standard checks before delivery

    Email syntax and domain validation, duplicate removal across the file, and removal of records where the contact no longer appears to hold the role. Catch-all and generic inboxes are flagged, not quietly mixed in with named contacts.

  4. 04

    Counts published before you pay

    You get the record count and the field-fill breakdown for your specific show and edition in the quote. If the list is thinner than you expected, you find out before the invoice.

What we will not do is quote you an accuracy percentage.

Every vendor in this market advertises one and none of them can show you the methodology behind it. We would rather give you a real sample, a real record count, and a bounce replacement policy you can hold us to.

How it works

Three steps from finding a show to contacting its exhibitors.

  1. 01

    01 — Find your show

    Search 3,064 trade shows by name, industry, country or date. Each show page lists the editions we cover and the exhibitor count we hold for each one.

  2. 02

    02 — Request the list

    Tell us the show, the edition and any filters — country, industry, company size, job function. We come back with the exact record count, the field-fill breakdown and a price.

  3. 03

    03 — Start reaching out

    Approve the quote and the list arrives as CSV and Excel, usually the same working day. Import it, segment it, and start booking meetings before the floor plan is even final.

Delivery

From asking to importing

Every duration below is a commitment in the Terms, not a marketing estimate.

  1. Day 0

    You tell us the show

    Name the show and edition. No account, no call, no form gate on the answer.

  2. 1 business day

    Coverage and sample back

    We confirm the record count and field-fill for that specific edition, and send real rows from it so you can check the coverage yourself.

  3. You decide

    Quote approved

    The quote states the record count, the licence term and the replacement policy in writing. Nothing is charged before you accept.

  4. Same day

    File delivered

    CSV and Excel, UTF-8, documented column layout, deduplicated by company. Ready to import without reshaping.

  5. 7 days

    Replacement window

    Report hard bounces within 7 days of delivery and we replace those records or credit them back, your choice.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a list cost?

Price depends on the show, the edition and how much of it you want. A 400-exhibitor regional show and a 5,000-exhibitor international show are not the same product, and buying one country out of a large show costs less than buying the whole floor. Pricing is shown after you sign in, and you get a firm quote with the exact record count before you commit.

Can I see the data before I buy?

Yes. Request a free sample and we send a genuine extract from the list you asked about — real companies with the actual fields populated, contact details partially masked. It is drawn from the show you enquired about, not a generic template file.

What format is the list delivered in?

CSV and Excel, UTF-8 encoded, with a documented column layout and duplicates removed. It imports into any mainstream CRM or sales engagement platform without reshaping or re-mapping columns. Delivery is usually the same working day the quote is approved.

How current is the data?

Every list ships with the date its records were most recently reviewed, so you can judge freshness for yourself. Each edition of a show is maintained as a separate dataset — we do not sell last year's file as this year's. Where a current edition's exhibitor line-up has not been published yet, we show the most recent completed edition and label it clearly.

What happens if emails bounce?

Report hard bounces within 7 days of delivery and we replace those records or credit them back. We deliberately do not advertise a deliverability percentage — no vendor in this market can show you the methodology behind the numbers they quote, so we would rather give you a policy you can actually hold us to.

Can I buy just part of a large show?

Yes, and for most buyers it is the sensible option. Lists can be filtered by exhibitor country, industry or product category, company size, and contact job function. A 6,000-company show usually contains 300 to 800 accounts you can realistically sell to — tell us your criteria and we will quote that segment.

The show I need isn't listed. Can you still help?

Ask. We cover 3,064 shows across 55 countries and the catalogue on the site is not exhaustive — some editions exist in our data before they are published as pages. If we genuinely cannot cover a show, we will tell you rather than sell you something adjacent, and we will usually point you at the nearest event that reaches the same buyers.

Are you affiliated with the show organisers?

No. B2B Forge is an independent data company. We are not a partner of, sponsored by, or endorsed by any trade show, organiser or venue. Show names, dates and locations are referenced for identification only, and any list you buy comes from us — not from the event.

Can I use this data for outreach in my market?

These are business contact details for people in professional roles at companies that have publicly committed to exhibiting. Rules on B2B outreach differ by country — GDPR, PECR, CAN-SPAM and equivalents all set different conditions — and when you send a campaign you are the data controller for it, so we would recommend your own legal review of your sequences and your opt-out handling. We remove records from our data on request from the individual concerned.

Ready to reach your next show?

Tell us which trade show you are targeting. We will confirm the record count, show you which fields are populated and send you a real sample — before you commit to anything.
