Ten years ago, in 2011, the first book "History of Odessa exhibitions" was published, which was timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the art and industrial exhibition held in Odessa in 1910-1911, which outlined the period of origin and organization of exhibitions and fairs until 1917. The second part, covering the exhibition activities of the Soviet period, was published in 2017. This third book reflects the activities of exhibition organizations in Odessa, and Ukraine in general, starting from 1991 until now, that is, during the time of Independent Ukraine.
Despite the fact that the trilogy covers events that took place not only in different time frames of the development of society, but even in three different states, the purpose of the research remained unchanged - to draw the attention of manufacturers of goods, consumers, journalists and analysts, all readers to the development of exhibition and fair activities as to one of the effective market instruments for the formation of the state.
