For the Online Edition of TradeFairTimes May 2026
The latest edition of Trade FairTimes captures an industry in transition, one that is steadily expanding beyond traditional formats to become a strategic driver of business, collaboration, and long-term economic value. As exhibitions continue to evolve into integrated platforms, this issue presents a balanced mix of leadership perspectives, sectoral developments, and forward-looking insights.
We feature three significant interviews that reflect the diversity of the ecosystem. Aditi Shukla shares her views on sustainability-driven exhibitions through Greens Expo, highlighting the growing relevance of environmentally responsible platforms. Ravinder Sethi marks the 40-year milestone of R E Rogers India, offering a retrospective on logistics excellence and its critical role in enabling global exhibitions. Adding to this, Zainab Rizvi provides insights into execution capabilities and the evolving demands of exhibition services.
On the industry front, the entry of The Times of India into the exhibitions space with SFI Expo 2026 reflects a growing convergence between media and experiential platforms. India’s manufacturing ambitions are further underscored at electronica India 2026 and productronica India 2026, while RX strengthens its presence with the launch of WTM Spotlight in New Delhi. The issue also highlights major industry platforms shaping sectoral growth. India Rubber Expo 2026 concluded with strong business outcomes and global participation, while IEEMA has unveiled ELECRAMA 2027, reinforcing its position as a global benchmark. Emerging initiatives such as EAW Global Aqua Expo 2026 and the Global Leadership Summit – Vision 2047 further reflect the industry’s alignment with national priorities.
Strategic partnerships remain central to this growth trajectory, with Rhenus Logistics collaborating with MIE Events to strengthen global exhibition logistics. Complementing these developments are expert contributions from Jagriti Pandey, Richard Erschik, Larry Kulchawik, and Mike Gunawan, alongside regular sections such as Swift Snippets, the Event Manager’s Horoscope, and the Event Calendar.
As the sector continues to scale, the message is clear; exhibitions are no longer transactional, they are strategic platforms shaping industries, partnerships, and the future of global trade.
