Though the brand management of trade shows are increasingly important, there are few studies with this theme. This research studies what factors have an effect on the brand loyalty of trade shows. To this purpose, we conduct empirical study on the relationship among perceived quality, perceived value, image of the trade show with attendee s satisfaction and loyalty of trade show. The results of this study are as follows: (1) Perceived quality has a direct effect on perceived value and satisfaction of trade show and indirect effect on attendee s loyalty of the trade show. (2) Perceived value has a direct effect on attendee s satisfaction and indirect effect on attendee s loyalty of the show.
