| 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 FindIt Top 40. The top-ranking firm within each of the five primary categories will be honored during EXHIBITORLIVE in San Antonio, March 16-20, 2025. 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 FindIt Top 40 will also receive recognition in print and online via a press release, and a special section within the June/July 2025 issue of EXHIBITOR magazine. |
