Understanding event types on Faktorist

Faktorist categorizes events into several types to help you find the right format for your goals.

Trade Fair

Large-scale exhibitions where suppliers showcase products and buyers browse offerings. Typically multi-day events with booths and demonstrations. Best for product discovery and supplier meetings.

Expo

Similar to trade fairs but often focused on a specific industry or theme. Expos combine exhibition space with keynote presentations and panel discussions.

Conference

Speaker-driven events with presentations, panels, and workshops. Conferences focus on industry knowledge, trends, and thought leadership. Networking happens during breaks and social events.

Summit

High-level gatherings of industry leaders and decision-makers. Summits are typically smaller and more exclusive than conferences, with a focus on strategic discussions.

Networking Event

Informal gatherings designed primarily for making business connections. These may include mixers, roundtables, or speed-networking sessions.

Webinar

Online events you can attend from anywhere. Webinars cover specific topics and usually include a presentation followed by a Q&A session. Faktorist hosts its own webinars and lists partner webinars.
