# What makes DCAT Week different from a trade show

It comes down to how people meet. DCAT Week has no exhibit floor and no walk in attendees; every meeting happens by invitation in a private hotel meeting room. CPHI Americas, TIDES USA, and Excipient World all have exhibit floors where people you have never met can walk up to your booth.
