Informa said total group underlying revenues grew 7.6% in Q1, with "strong performances" across its live B2B events portfolio and in academic markets.
FY revenues of more than £2.5bn were said to have already been traded, booked or committed through subscriptions, recurring exhibitor revenues and forward booked contracts, marking 61% of annual target revenues, pacing ahead of 2024.
The FTSE 100-listed firm also noted that it had experienced "strong demand" across all regions in Q1 and continued its market-leading outperformance in India, Middle East and Africa.
Looking ahead, Informa reiterated its FY guidance for group underlying revenues of more than 5%, as well as its revenue target of £4.1bn and expectation for double-digit adjusted earnings growth.
Chief executive Stephen Carter said: "The Informa Group continues to deliver strong underlying growth in both Live B2B Events and Academic Markets."
"Specialist brands in Specialist markets, annual/multi-year subscriptions, forward booked revenues, and leading positions in faster-growing geographies, underpin the Informa growth platform."
