Bate-papo Corner: Decoding the Top 20: The Dynamics Behind the Rankings
Talk
2025-11-20 | 11:20 AM - 11:40 AM
Stax's annual ranking of the world’s Top 20 exhibition organizers offers more than a snapshot of revenue—it reflects evolving strategies, structural shifts, and competitive dynamics shaping the future of the industry.
Stax's Managing Director Florent Jarry will be interviewed by TSNN's Danica Tormohlen to take participants beyond the charts and explore various topics and trends; why some organisers are growing faster than others, profitability and how that has been trending post Covid, and why, event models and how these have been evolving - 1:1 and “B2B festivals” in particular.
The session culminates in an Ask Me Anything (AMA) with Florent — an open forum where delegates can ask their toughest questions about growth strategy, mergers and acquisitions, new market expansion, and the future of exhibition business models. Nothing is off the table.
