How we score
Six weighted factors, each scored on a 0 to 100 rubric then normalized to a 7.0 to 10.0 band. Every show on this list cleared a relevance bar to be included, so 7.0 is the floor; the number tells you how far the leaders pull ahead. A factor we cannot source is left unscored rather than estimated, and the overall score above was set before any figure behind it was withdrawn.
Standout (9.2): 40% purchasing authority (moderate), 117:1 attendee-to-exhibitor ratio, and large-scale event.
Not scored on cost: this organizer publishes no booth price we can link to.
Solid (7.6): exhibitor count disclosed, and attendee purchasing-authority data published.
Strong (8.7): society-run exhibits (in-house), non-union venue (simpler, cheaper move-in), and product theater / demo stage available.
Strong (8.1): "who should skip" note included, the flagship / largest show in its niche, and product-theater opportunity for thought leadership.
Strong (8.8): large and well-established and 14,000 attendees.
