The number of decision-makers at fairs is growing, says LAE 2003, a reader analysis of decision-makers in industry and administration. Between 2001 and 2003 the number of decision-makers grew from 703,000 to 721,000, up 2.6 per cent. 1.3 million managers (up four per cent) attend at least one fair a year, so 77 per cent of decision-makers in Germany attend fairs (2002: 75 per cent). www.auma.de
