What FairBoost does
FairBoost is a privately held Dutch event and exhibition management firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Waddinxveen, Netherlands. It provides end-to-end project-based services for trade shows and congresses, including custom exhibition stand design and construction, conference area setup, registration, logistics, flooring, lighting, graphics, signage, and venue installations such as the LED Cube product delivered for World Forum. The firm operates with a small core team (1–10 employees, five named individuals) and scales delivery through a partner network, most notably a strategic partnership with The Inside for stand construction, which together delivered 65 stands for Interbride 2022 in five weeks and 34 meeting rooms for EADV Congress 2024 at RAI Amsterdam.
The company's offering is service-led rather than technology-led: there is no proprietary software platform, and digital assets are limited to a bilingual Dutch/English marketing website and event-specific webshops for participant orders. Revenue is generated through custom-quoted professional-services contracts with two principal customer segments: enterprise event organizers (e.g., KCI Media Group, Interbride, EADV) and corporate exhibitors requiring recurring stand presence (e.g., Aperam since 2022 across Heat Exchanger World, Stainless Steel World, and Green Steel World). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with personalized consultation and full-lifecycle delivery from planning through on-site execution.
FairBoost's business model is intentionally compact, emphasizing personal communication, short feedback loops, and quality over scale. Geographic focus is the Netherlands (with adjacent Amsterdam-based venues such as RAI), but the English-language site and engagements at international congress venues indicate positioning toward cross-border event clients. The firm has no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, and no public revenue figures.
