AUMA does not publish a report simply titled 'AUMA Exhibitor Survey 2025' with the specific hybrid-calendar recommendation quoted ('one tier-one anchor cycle every 24-36 months...'). AUMA's real annual publication is the 'AUMA Exhibitor Outlook'; the specific quoted commentary is not attributable to a real, findable AUMA source. The article cites 'UFI Global Exhibition Barometer, editions 32-34, 2024-2025' as the source. This is an overly specific, unverifiable multi-edition attribution; UFI's real Barometer editions in this period are numbered differently (the 36th edition covered late 2025 data, the 37th covered mid-2026), so 'editions 32-34' for 2024-2025 commentary cannot be verified against known UFI numbering.
