Trade Fair ROI Measurement: 12-Month Attribution Windows for European B2B
How European B2B exhibitors actually measure trade fair ROI. 12-month attribution windows, multi-touch attribution models, AUMA cost-per-contact benchmarks…
What was corrected
It draws on AUMA exhibitor cost benchmarks (the EUR 130-280 per visitor contact range), UFI Global Barometer ROI methodology, MPI EventScape industry studies, and the attribution-model practices documented in Salesforce State of Sales research.
It draws on industry cost-per-contact ranges reported informally across European exhibitor communities, general UFI Global Barometer survey findings, MPI EventScape industry studies, and common multi-touch attribution practices used in B2B sales operations.

Why this is better
7 issues fixed: Unverified named report 'AUMA Exhibitor Cost Benchmarks' with a specific EUR 130-280 per-visitor-contact figure attributed to it. No such AUMA publication or benchmark exists; AUMA's real periodic exhibitor survey is the 'AUMA Exhibitor Outlook', which does not publish a per-contact cost benchmark of this kind. | unverified citation: 'AUMA Trade Fair Industry Report. Exhibitor Performance and Cost Benchmarks. 2024-2025' does not correspond to any real, findable AUMA publication under this title. | unverified citation: no findable Bain & Company publication titled 'B2B Event Marketing: The Honest ROI Conversation' (Bain Insights, July 2024) exists. | unverified citation: no findable McKinsey & Company Events Practice publication titled 'Multi-Touch Attribution for Trade Fair Pipeline' (2024) exists. | unverified citation: no findable Harvard Business Review article titled 'Why Marketing ROI Numbers Don't Survive the CFO' (HBR Marketing, October 2023) exists. | unverified/unverifiable citation: 'Forrester Research. European B2B Event Attribution Benchmarks. 2024' cannot be located as a real published report. | unverified/unverifiable citation: 'SiriusDecisions. Event Marketing Performance Framework. 2024 edition' cannot be located; SiriusDecisions was absorbed into Forrester in 2019 and does not publish standalone editions under this name.
