Analysis
NAICS 56192 is the 2022 NAICS industry for convention and trade show organizers, part of 5619 (Other Support Services).
It has only one more detailed code, 561920, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 6,270 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 81,648 people at an average annual payroll of $54,363 per employee (24th percentile of national industries). 73% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 14% and employment fell 13%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 3 codes at this level within Other Support Services, with 30.1% of them.
