trade-show-finderlisted

Find, compare, and research trade shows, exhibitions, expos, and industry events by vertical, region, date, or audience. Use this skill whenever the user wants to discover which trade shows exist for their industry, compare multiple events side-by-side, decide which shows are worth attending or exhibiting at, look up event dates and venues, research exhibitor counts or visitor profiles, or plan an annual trade show calendar. Also triggers on questions like 'what are the best shows for [industry]', 'when is [show name]', 'should we go to [event] or [event]', 'find me exhibitions in Germany for packaging', 'trade show calendar 2026', 'exhibition calendar Europe', 'B2B trade shows', 'what industry events should I attend', 'upcoming trade fairs', or even vague requests like 'we need to get in front of more buyers — what events should we be at'. If the user mentions any specific trade show by name (CES, MEDICA, Hannover Messe, Interpack, SXSW, Bauma, etc.) and wants information about it, use this skill.
