For the Online Edition of TradeFairTimes April 2026
As we move into April, the exhibition and events industry continues to evolve with strong momentum, marked by infrastructure growth, global collaborations, and sector-specific innovation. A key development this month is EXHICON securing the Mohali Convention & Exhibition Centre project under the PPP model, signalling growing confidence in India’s exhibition infrastructure. At the same time, platforms like the Gandhi Shilp Bazaar in Goa highlight the cultural and grassroots impact of exhibitions by celebrating India’s rich tribal heritage. AAHAR 2026 has once again demonstrated its scale and influence, drawing over 1.5 lakh visitors, while IIJS Bharat-Tritiya strengthens India’s position in the global jewellery market. The Garment Technology Expo also reaffirmed its role as a catalyst for innovation and efficiency in the apparel sector. On the global front, the rescheduling of ATM 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre reflects shifting industry dynamics, while the continued collaboration between Messe Frankfurt and IMEX underlines the importance of strategic partnerships in strengthening the global events ecosystem. Travel and tourism exhibitions such as India International Travel Mart and TTF Chennai indicate sustained growth in the sector, supported by strong participation. Meanwhile, upcoming shows like the Intralogistics & Warehousing Expo in Mumbai and the much-anticipated India ITME 2026 promise scale and industrywide engagement. This edition also features insightful perspectives from Ms. Jagriti Pandey on leveraging on-ground intelligence, and Richard (Rich) Erschik on improving trade show lead conversions, both offering practical takeaways for industry professionals. Alongside, we bring you the Event Manager’s Horoscope for April, upcoming event calendars for April and May, and a dedicated section on postponed events to help you stay informed and prepared. We hope this issue provides valuable insights as you navigate the months ahead.
