Core offering

ITE Group organizes 30+ annual international B2B trade exhibitions, conferences, and summits across industries such as automotive, food and beverage, construction, logistics, tourism, agriculture, electronics, and industrial equipment.

Product overview

ITE Group operates as a diversified trade show and exhibition organizer offering a portfolio of 30+ major B2B events across multiple industry sectors including automotive, food and beverage, construction, logistics, tourism, agriculture, electronics, and industrial equipment. The core offering is a platform-plus-modules architecture combining in-person trade exhibitions with the ITE Connect digital community platform that enables year-round professional networking and business engagement. ITE Connect serves as the central hub linking all industry communities (DairyTech Connect, WorldFood Connect, MosBuild Connect, TransRussia Connect, RosUpack Connect, MITT Connect, YugAgro Connect, MiningWorld Connect, Electronica Connect, Aquaflame Connect), while individual exhibitions like MIMS Automobility, WorldFood Moscow, COMTRANS, Weldex, and Fastenex represent the flagship in-person events. Supporting services include visa support, hotel/transport booking, excursions, and ITE Academy for professional certification—all delivered through strategic partnerships rather than proprietary delivery.
