exhibitor's gate(s).
Explanation:
IMO you have to translate it. I used to be involved in exhibitions at Essen, Frankfurt etc. They don't call it "Wirschaftstor" - that's just a generic DE term for it - it's just referred to as the exhibitor's gate(s). in English.

Actually, they don't really to call them anything officially- just gate A, gate B etc.

disagree  Richard Benham: Quite apart from the missing apostrophe and the bizarre use of singular rather than plural, not to mention the possibility of arousing the ire of the politically correct brigade, this is not even the right sesne of the word.
