We exhibited at the Disaster Expo - overall a really good show. Plenty of decision makers and busy. Negative was that we got one of the last booths so we were in a less than ideal location near the ba... See more

They are absolutely horrible and rude.
My company attended a show hosted by Fortem International in 2022, and it was a relatively good experience. Attendance was dismal, but the people who were there were good and we managed to get good business. Why one star? Well, they asked us if we wanted to attend in 2023. We said yes, but then shortly afterward canceled and told them that we intended to go in 2024 instead. They refused to acknowledge this and after several months, decided that we owed them money for the 2023 show. We reminded them that we had canceled, then they said they not only did not see that we had canceled but told us that we never attended in the first place. Obviously, they were confused. Now they're trying to send us to collections to pay for the booth in 2023 that we will not be using and that we canceled. They totally burned bridges with us and I will never work with them again. They are absolutely horrible and rude.

amazing experience in California
We’ve made a lot of great connections and
met a lot of great people, you guys have
been amazing. We really enjoyed the show.
We would recommend the show, we’re
going to the one in Miami - we’re going to
be doing the next one in September. So we
think it’s a great idea for people in this type
of industry.

Very shady company
Very shady company. They promise you a great booth and then get you to sign a contract. And then they sell your booth to another company. They claim that they can move your booth at their own discretion. Also they promise tens of thousands attendees. Where in reality, the entire show is empty. Less than 100 in 2 days. The last New York show was the worst. Every exhibitor was complaining. They should rename their shows the "White label NO Show. "We've done a couple of shows with them, through their aggressive tactics, they will not let you cancel because of their fraudulent promises. Do NOT give these scammers your money. There's a reason why so many of their sales agents quit. Because they have to lie and give false promises on behalf of the company in order to get companies generally they troll other trade shows to lure exhibitors to be a part of their show. Their shows get smaller and smaller every year. Their representatives are threatening and vulgar. Almost 50% of the exhibitor space is empty. Previous exhibitors have learned and decided this show is a sham and don't waste their money. Our New York show we complained about our change of booth while setting up. The next morning, some of our product displays and all of our brochures, samples and price sheets were missing from our booth. Search on trustpilot for their former company called Prysm group. They had 100%, one star reviews. It was so bad that they had to Rebrand under Fortem. Don't trust the lies. This is the same wolf in sheep clothing. Same management and owners. SCAMMERS
