trade fairs

Commercial showcase events

Trade fairs are large exhibitions where companies in a particular industry display their products and services to potential buyers, partners, and the public.

They function as marketplaces for business networking and deals: We picked up three new suppliers at the trade fair in Frankfurt.

Also called trade shows or expos.
