    What it has to bring in

    About these numbers. Space prices are published rates where the organiser publishes them, second-hand listings where they do not, and clearly-marked estimates otherwise — you will see which is which above. Build, freight and travel figures are sector baselines, not a quote. Treat the total as a planning number, then ask a build and freight partner for a real one.

    Want a real quote instead of an estimate?

    We work with build and freight partners who quote against the actual fair. Send them your fair and your stand size and they will come back with numbers you can budget against.
