Events like the Origins Game Fair and the Ohio State Fair attract exhibitors across industries from gaming and consumer goods to agriculture and education. The city’s central location and growing event calendar bring unmatched exposure, but also logistical hurdles like crowded loading docks, permit requirements, and fast-moving show schedules.

Things to Consider While Exhibiting in Columbus
Weather can vary widely, with snowy winters and hot, humid summers—factor in extra time for shipping and travel.
Columbus’s central Midwest location makes it a hub for regional exhibitors, so expect busy venues and strong competition for audience attention.
During major events like the Origins Game Fair or the Ohio State Fair, hotels and transportation often sell out fast, so plan accommodations well in advance.
Book early for booth space—venues like the Greater Columbus Convention Center (GCCC) and Ohio Expo Center can fill quickly, and early reservations secure better visibility.
Columbus events attract both professionals and consumers, so booth messaging, demos, and giveaways should appeal to a mixed audience.
The city’s walkable downtown and strong dining scene make it easy to host client meetings or team gatherings outside of show hours.
