Get geared up for bumping elbows in the lead-generating, sales-increasing opportunities of the trade show world. We've compiled a list of 5 tactics to help streamline and improve the trade show experience for your event attendees. But first, some trade show statistics pre and post-COVID. According to [Statista](https://www.statista.com/statistics/865283/b2b-trade-show-market-value/), the B2B trade show market in the United States was worth 15.58 billion dollars in 2019. Due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the industry saw a sharp decline to 5.6 billion dollars in 2020. The numbers are projected to rise steadily to pre-COVID numbers by 2024. ### Basic Pre-Show Planning is a Must  The trade show doesn't begin when the convention center doors open the first morning of the show. For you, it begins months ahead of time. You know what they say about prior proper planning... it prevents poor performance. If you don't plan ahead, your tools to streamline and enhance the trade show experience will flop.  [![Learn more about how Perenso's trade show software can elevate the event experience >>](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/4112205/1f9c9ba3-6393-411f-892c-1a2cc1a1eb6b.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/4112205/1f9c9ba3-6393-411f-892c-1a2cc1a1eb6b) ### Provide an Event Registration Solution Having a professional website with your branding, event details, and registration helps you market your event and [makes registration simple for attendees](https://www.perenso.com/event-registration-solution).
