Trade Show Executive's Fastest 50 Awards & Summit is an annual forum where show managers of both small and large shows, in the United States and abroad, can participate in a solid schedule of educational sessions, an award ceremony saluting the leaders of the fastest-growing trade shows worldwide and other high-level networking events and surprises. At the event, TSE honors the fastest-growing shows held in the United States during the previous year. 50 winners are selected based on the percentage of growth in each of the following categories: net square feet, number of exhibiting companies and number of attendees.
