Sales cycle length (events)
Definition
Sales cycle length (events) is the elapsed time from first meaningful contact with an exhibitor or sponsor prospect to a signed contract (or lost decision).
Cycle length drives how early outreach must start relative to show dates. Long cycles with late starts create last-minute discount pressure. Segment by deal type — sponsorship and island booths usually take longer than shell-scheme renewals.
