Comparison Year Reference Pacing
The Comparison Year Reference Pace page is designed to help sales, marketing, and event operations teams track progress toward sourcing returning exhibitors based on prior-year behaviors. It focuses specifically on exhibitors from the previous event and projects their expected rebooking behavior across 30, 60, and 90-day timelines. This insight supports pipeline planning, sales pacing, and benchmarking current outreach efforts against historical data.
Use this chart as a benchmarking tool to guide your sales goals. If your current progress is lagging behind the historical rebooking pace, it’s a signal to accelerate outreach or refine your offer strategy.
