THE inaugural Global Exhibitions Day will be staged on June 8 this year, to commemorate the people working in the exhibitions industry and display career opportunities that the industry has to offer.
An initiative by Paris based UFI and Dallas based International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE), the campaign is expected to see participation by exhibition organisers, venues, associations and service providers worldwide.
It aims to promote the value of exhibiting for companies, the role of exhibitions for development of trade and internationalisation, as well as their role in driving innovation and competitiveness of companies.
“There are many great national and regional initiatives, addressing exhibitors, visitors, policymakers and other stakeholders. Uniting these achievements under one common umbrella will strengthen the messages and multiply the reach”, said UFI president Sergey Alexeev and IAEE chairperson Julie Smith.
