The exact change
For other venues, the appointed-forwarder model varies: Fiera Milano operates with Expotrans as the appointed forwarder, RAI Amsterdam appoints Valverde, IFEMA Madrid runs Resa Expo, and ExCeL London operates a non-appointed model with several forwarders competing on equal terms.
For other venues, the appointed-forwarder model varies: Fiera Milano operates with Expotrans as the appointed forwarder, RAI Amsterdam's official forwarder is DB Schenker, and ExCeL London and IFEMA Madrid arrangements should be confirmed directly with each venue, as appointed-forwarder contracts change over time.
Suggested change

Why this is better
The closing summary states RAI Amsterdam appoints Valverde and IFEMA Madrid runs Resa Expo. Sources (RAI Amsterdam's own announcements, a DB Schenker press release) confirm DB Schenker as RAI Amsterdam's official forwarder (extended to 2028); Resa Expo Logistics is documented for Fira Barcelona, BECC Bilbao and CCIB Barcelona, not for IFEMA Madrid specifically.
