Expo projects in Europe don’t happen evenly throughout the year. Contractors often find themselves overloaded in spring but waiting for work in summer.
If you know the seasonal rhythms, you can plan your bids, budgets, and staffing to stay ahead of the cycle.
Quick Summary
- Europe has 3 main expo “seasons.”
- Knowing peak times boosts your win rate.
- Avoid downtime by targeting off-season work.
Who This Is For
- Contractors planning workforce allocation.
- Exhibitors deciding when to launch a booth.
Seasonal Peaks
- Spring (March–May): Tech, IT, construction, healthcare.
- Autumn (September–November): Retail, design, logistics.
- Winter (Jan–Feb): Startups, finance, automotive launches.
- Summer (June–August): Mostly quiet, except for festivals and creative expos.
Common Problems
- Contractors often lack staff during double-booked autumn shows.
- Exhibitors overspend on last-minute booth designs.
