Well obviously the answer to this would be no … but there are a number of stats and guidelines you can reference as you develop your exhibit marketing budget for 2016 shows. Take a look at the handy charts and strategies EXHIBITOR Magazine has compiled on drayage rates, graphic production costs, labor rates, exhibit house charges, per diems around the world, and more. While it won’t write your budgets for you, it may at least make the task a bit less agonizing.

Appreciate the tip from EXHIBITOR Magazine. It was good to see the spending averages.
Glad you found the stats useful, Emilio.
