Top-ranked entrants receive a custom plaque, and all firms named to the top 40 will be recognized via print and online coverage.

Criteria

Applicants will be evaluated using an objective algorithm weighted to reflect how EXHIBITOR magazine readers value a variety of criteria when determining whether or not to include an organization on a request for information (RFI) or request for proposal (RFP). The myriad criteria being considered have been categorized into five primary areas:
  • Company and Capabilities
  • Honors and Awards
  • Thought Leadership and Industry Participation
  • Service and Reliability
  • Creativity and Key Differentiators

The evaluation process also includes a survey of current clients and a review of entrants' past projects, selling points, and innovations, conducted by a panel of corporate exhibit managers.

Recognition

The 40 highest-scoring firms (regardless of company size) with headquarters in North America will be announced among the Find It - Top 40. The top-ranking firm within each of the five primary categories will be honored during EXHIBITORLIVE in Nashville. Additionally, the highest-scoring international firms (with headquarters outside North America) will be named to a separate list of the industry's top global exhibit providers (including a Best International Exhibit Producer honoree). All companies named to the Find It - Top 40 will also receive recognition in print and online via a press release, an online listing, and a special section within the April/May 2024 issue of EXHIBITOR magazine.
