The exact change
UFI EX research suggests exhibitor experience scores explain 60-75% of variance in rebook decisions among major exhibitors, more than any other measurable variable including visitor attendance or pricing.
Industry exhibitor-satisfaction research suggests exhibitor experience scores are among the strongest predictors of rebook decisions among major exhibitors, alongside visitor attendance and pricing.

Why this is better
3 issues fixed: Attributes a precise statistic ('exhibitor experience scores explain 60-75% of variance in rebook decisions among major exhibitors, more than any other measurable variable') to 'UFI EX research', a specifically-named research programme that is not verifiable as an actual formally-branded UFI research stream. The precise variance-explained figure reads as a fabricated statistic attached to an invented source name. | Cites 'UFI's 2024 EX (Exhibitor Experience) Research' as having 'found that exhibitor satisfaction scores predict rebook rates more reliably than visitor attendance numbers' - this specific named research and finding cannot be verified as an actual UFI publication. | Attributes a specific statistic to 'AUMA's 2024 Trends report' ('European exhibitor fair counts down approximately 18% versus 2019 while aggregate spend held roughly flat') that cannot be verified in AUMA's actual published Trends reports. AUMA's real published data (e.g. Exhibitor Outlook surveys) shows trade fair budget share of marketing budget rising to pre-pandemic levels, not a specific 18% decline in fair counts - this precise figure appears fabricated.
How this record is verified
- The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
- It counts only because the publisher, Exhibition Stands EU, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
- It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
