Paris, 19th January: Earlier this week, UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, released its first Industry Partners Benchmark Survey, examining the relationships between industry partners and suppliers, and exhibition organisers and venues.

The survey was developed by the UFI Industry Partners Working Group. Over 200 companies contributed to the project. In the survey, exhibition organisers and venue operators stated service providers have a high impact on the overall success of their events. The report also identifies areas for improvement through collaboration.
