    Supplier applications reviewed by TSI

    Our team reviews company details, services, and coverage before approving a supplier to participate. Matching then considers the work and region you need, rather than sending the same brief to everyone.

    Control over who you work with

    Compare the available quotations and clarify the scope before accepting. Your identity stays private while suppliers quote, and your details go only to the supplier you choose.

    Services available

    Bring your show requirements together

    One request can cover several services. Describe each requirement so it can reach the relevant specialists.

    How it works

    1. 1

      Define your requirements

      Share your event and requirements

      Choose your event and the services you need, then describe the scope, dates, and location. One request can include several requirements, helping suppliers understand the work before preparing a quotation.

    2. 2

      Follow the progress

      Follow your request

      Verify your work email if needed and follow your request in the workspace. Our team reviews the brief before matching it with suppliers. You can see its status while it is being reviewed and while quotations are collected.

      Make an informed choice

      Review the available quotations, including their scope, terms, and supporting documents. Ask questions through the request tools so you understand what is included before choosing a supplier. Availability depends on the services and location you need.

    Supplier applications reviewed by our team.

    How we bring the fit together

    We match requests by service and region, using the requirements you share and the coverage in each supplier’s profile. Our team reviews supplier applications before suppliers can participate, and reviews exhibitor briefs before publishing them to matched suppliers.

    You stay in control

    Coverage and the number of quotations depend on supplier availability in your market. Your company identity stays hidden while suppliers quote; contact details are released to the supplier whose quotation you accept. TSI does not add a commission or markup to your supplier agreement.
