I am coming to the conclusion that nearly every industry has a convention or trade show.  I guess I’m not totally surprised.  Some are small and some are quite large but I have yet to speak to someone in an industry that does not have some annual convention or some big event that takes place each year.

I was speaking today to a person at Where.com.  They have a cool platform where people can make cool widgets for their mobile phone.  After we discussed this a little they referred to a convention where they wanted to make a splash called Navteq.  It’s a convention for developers and others in their industry.  They also wanted to make sure they were a part of another part of their industry called Where 2.0 Conference.  Appropriately named for their company as it stands.

After I hung up from the call, I pondered the idea that this small company in a very niche business, had two very large events that it planned to take part in and it made me wonder how many small business or even large participate in events.  As I tried to wrap my mind around the number of events there must be in a single year, I started to lose myself in the numbers.  Conventions.net has it’s work cut out to keep up with numbers such as those.  You can help, make sure Conventions.net knows about your event, convention, trade show or conference.
