For the Online Edition of TradeFairTimes Aug 2025

This July marks 20 years since we started what was then known as Exhicon Events Update – a humble beginning that would go on to become TradeFairTimes, India’s first magazine & website dedicated exclusively to the Trade Fair and Exhibition industry. Two decades ago, we dared to imagine that the Indian exhibitions and MICE sector deserved its own voice – unbiased, consistent, and dedicated. Back then, no one believed an “industry magazine” like this would survive even two editions.

But here we are, 240+ months, countless stories, and a million memories later – still standing strong, still independent. This journey wasn’t easy. There were moments we were printing issues with little more than faith and borrowed resources. There were nights we stayed awake chasing deadlines, and years we ran it with zero commercial gains simply because someone had to tell the truth, celebrate the sector, and question when required. What kept us going was not profit – but passion. What built this legacy was not marketing – but trust. We thank every organiser, venue, service provider, industry veteran, and reader who believed in us, criticized us, and most importantly, stood by us. We’ve grown together. The industry we covered as a niche has now become a billion-dollar ecosystem – and we are proud to have documented its rise from Day One. To our incredible team past and present – this is your story too. You gave it shape, soul, and a stubborn spine. As we step into our 21st year, we remain as committed as ever to bringing forth honest journalism, industry insight, and a platform for every unheard voice in the trade fair world.

Here’s to 20 years of Trade FairTimes.

Here’s to the road less taken and still travelled with pride.
