Why Should You Attend an International Fair?
International fairs offer a unique opportunity to find new suppliers, conduct market research, analyze competitor products and prices, and see the latest technologies in your sector on site. Fairs, which provide the opportunity to meet face-to-face with hundreds of companies in a week, have become even more strategic with the spread of digital communication, far from losing their importance. Turkish buyers are increasingly taking their place at Europe's leading fairs; businesses returning from these fairs state that they obtain a new supplier portfolio at an average rate of 20-40 percent.
Fair Participation Preparation: Step-by-Step Timeline
| Time | Task | Description |
| 6 Months Before | Hotel and tour reservation | During fair periods, quality hotels fill up 6 months in advance. A hotel near the fair grounds reduces transfer costs and saves time. |
| 4-5 Months Before | Flight ticket | Early reservation provides 30-50 percent savings on flight tickets. Act early, as other tour participants are heading for the same flights. |
| 6-8 Weeks Before | Schengen visa application | You must allow sufficient time for collecting documents and the embassy appointment. During busy periods, the appointment may slip 3-4 weeks ahead. |
| 2-4 Weeks Before | Fair accreditation | Obtain your accreditation card in advance by registering online on the organizer's website. At some fairs, the free online registration period ends. |
| 1 Week Before | Meeting planning | Make appointments in advance with the companies you want to meet at the fair. Create a time plan for stand visits at large fairs. |
| After the Fair | Follow-up and reporting | Business cards and notes obtained at meetings should be entered into the system immediately, and follow-up of potential suppliers and customers should begin within 48 hours. |
