Exhibitors: companies on the exhibitor list of each show's latest 2026 or later edition on file, ConferenceDB, as of today. Shows with no public exhibitor directory are not counted.
How this was counted
Each trade show or conference counts once, at its latest edition on file that is dated 2026 or later and has an exhibitor list. Its exhibitors are added to the city that edition is held in. Cities are cleaned so that "Las Vegas, NV" and "Las Vegas" are one city. Cities with a single show are counted in the totals but not ranked, because one show decides the whole number.
The lists are read from each show's own exhibitor directory and updated daily. They name companies, never people. A show without a public directory is missing, so read the totals as a floor for each city, not the city's full exhibitor count.
Questions
Which city hosts the most trade show exhibitors?
Las Vegas does: 14,807 exhibitors across 31 trade shows with an exhibitor list on file for a 2026 or later edition, ahead of Chicago with 7,240.
Does this count every trade show in a city?
No. It counts the shows whose exhibitor list ConferenceDB has read, 695 shows in 243 cities. A show without a public exhibitor directory is not in these totals, so a city's real total is higher.
Where do I get the exhibitor list for a show in one of these cities?
Open the show in the table. Each row links to that show's page, and shows with 50 or more exhibitors link straight to the full list, A to Z. See every exhibitor list.
