HOW WE KEEP THE NUMBERS HONEST

Estimates, labelled. Always.

01 // SHARE OF TRACKED

Every number is comparative, never absolute — your share of what we track, on the same basis as everyone else.

02 // OBSERVED VS. FORECAST

What we track, we record. What we forecast, we label. Trajectory is analysis, not arithmetic.

03 // A FILTER, NOT MIND-READING
✓MATCHES PROFILE
✕CHEQUE SIZE

We show who's in the room and whether they match a profile. We never claim to know the cheque.

We show your event as the record shows it — including when it's declining. An intelligence tool that only flatters is a brochure.
SPONSORS & EXHIBITORS

Find sponsors from who sponsored similar events

The likeliest sponsors for your next edition have already sponsored a show like it. Start from your category and region to see who sponsors and exhibits there, and who does it at competing events but not yours.

01

How to find sponsors for an event: where do I start?

With the companies that already sponsor events like yours. WHR lists who sponsored and exhibited at comparable shows in your category and region, including those who back competing events but not yours.

02

Which companies exhibited at rival shows but not ours?

Your competitive set is already mapped, so the gap list is a comparison: every exhibitor and sponsor at the rival shows, minus the ones on your floor. Each comes with its trajectory, so you can see who is growing their event presence before you call.

BENCHMARKING

Benchmark your event against competing shows

Your competitive set, ranked by activity and audience pull across category and geography. See whose floor is growing, whose exhibitors are leaving, and where they go next.

01

What is event benchmarking, and what does WHR compare?

Event benchmarking puts your show beside the ones competing for the same exhibitors, sponsors and audience. WHR compares them edition by edition on who participates, how that is changing and where the audience travels from — from participation records, not the organisers’ own brochures.

02

My exhibitors are defecting to a competing show — how would I see it?

Your lapsed exhibitors are tracked to where they went next, so a move to a rival shows up as a pattern across editions rather than a rumour. It is on your board from the first screen, with nothing to set up.
