The most granular published cost benchmarks available for European tier-one fairs. Reference: AUMA Trade Fair Industry Report, current edition 2024-2025.
AfterAUMA publishes general exhibitor cost guidance (via AUMA-Trends and the AUMA Exhibitor Outlook survey), but no granular per-category cost table of the kind below is a verified, specifically-published AUMA figure; treat the cost breakdown as an aggregated industry estimate, not an AUMA-sourced statistic.
Why: 3 issues fixed: Cites 'AUMA Trade Fair Industry Report, current edition 2024-2025' as the source for a detailed EUR cost table (stand build custom EUR 80,000-160,000, median EUR 316,500, etc.). No AUMA publication with this title exists, and no verifiable public AUMA source contains these specific figures. This is the article's central citation and it is fabricated. | Attributes a specific quote to 'AUMA Exhibitor Cost Benchmarks Report, 2024-2025', a publication title that does not exist in AUMA's real output (AUMA-Trends, AUMA Exhibitor Outlook survey). | Cites 'UFI Global Exhibition Barometer, 32nd edition (2025)' but UFI's real 2025 Barometer editions are numbered 34 and 35 (36th in early 2026), not 32. The edition number and year do not match any real UFI publication.
