The study updates the original 2008 study <em>The Invisible Exhibitor,<\/em> examining what has changed over the last decade.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Invisible Exhibitor: What They\u2019re STILL Not Telling You <\/em>details the plight of exhibitors, 75% of whom revealed they believe show management could and should be doing more to help them. The paper reveals findings and outlines solutions for issues exhibitors face today including Staggering Velocity, New Digital Citizens, Business Incubation and the hunger for Innovation.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>\u201cShow organizers may have introduced technology tools and made steps to improve the situation but true business partnership is rare,\u201d says industry journalist and event consultant Michael Hart, who conducted the study. \u201cAnxiety and confusion are still spawned by imperfect systems and the expectations within their own organizations that they do more with less.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The white paper is available for download at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theexpogroup.com\/invisible\">theexpogroup.com\/invisible<\/a>.
