Exhibition spaces are venues designed to accommodate events such as trade or industry shows, as well as public gatherings. These versatile spaces can serve as platforms to exhibit products, services, and information from companies or organisations. Additionally, they are used to showcase shows or exhibits from local businesses or artisans.
Generally they share a few common characteristics such as a large open space that can accommodate displays and services such as WiFi and on-site staff. Larger exhibition venues will usually offer logistical elements as well, such as kitchens or concession areas, and sometimes loading docks or freight elevators.
