coexhibitor

A coexhibitor is an entity that shares exhibition space with another exhibitor at a trade show, convention, or similar event. This arrangement is common when a primary exhibitor has secured a larger booth than they need, or when a smaller company wishes to participate in an event but cannot afford a full booth on their own. The coexhibitor typically operates within the primary exhibitor's designated area, often at a smaller counter or a section of the main booth.

The specific terms of a coexhibitor agreement are usually determined by the primary exhibitor and can vary widely. These terms might include the amount of space allocated, shared access to amenities like electricity or internet, and responsibilities for booth setup and dismantling. Coexhibitors are generally not listed as separate exhibitors in the event's official directory or floor plan, although the primary exhibitor's listing may sometimes indicate the presence of partners or coexhibitors. This type of arrangement can offer a cost-effective way for businesses to gain visibility at industry events, leveraging the prime location and foot traffic generated by the main exhibitor. It can also be a strategic move for the primary exhibitor to diversify their offerings or create a more comprehensive showcase within their space.
