On the other hand, sustainability is at the core of all trade fair proposals and working methodologies of SHOW2BE, which guarantees that each trade fair experience contributes positively to the environment and society and generates a positive impact on the city environment where the event takes place.

"Vertical and specialized professional trade fairs are the most powerful and complete sales, marketing, and communication tool there is. Therefore, SHOW2BE aims to drive the evolution of a new generation of B2P fairs, with resources and work strategies focused on creating direct and meaningful connections between companies and people, prioritizing personalized experiences and human interaction in the business world, where innovation and new technologies respond as enablers of new services, solutions, and tools, to drive the growth of companies, empowering reference sectors, and professional development of audiences and sectoral communities, through the most efficient trade fair services, fairs and events, and 3.0 and B2P trade fair marketing solutions."

SHOW2BE is committed to collaborating with sectoral and professional associations, as well as with institutions representing sectors, "because fairs are a tool for the promotion and visibility of sectors, and where our main objective is to help companies continue selling, growing, and exporting, maximizing their return on investment not only during the event days but through 365D services, because each trade fair ecosystem must be an active permanent networking community," says Calleja.
