2 July 2018
This year’s GED focused on two key areas: first, to advocate industry issues with politicians and stakeholders, and secondly, on finding new ways to connect with young people to attract the right talent to the exhibition industry.
By the end of the day, the UFI team in Paris had registered activities in 85 countries and regions from all around the world, with the leading organisers, venues and service providers all being active. This year’s success builds on the impressive results from the 2017 campaign, which already set a record for global industry advocacy. Coordinated by UFI, this joint advocacy campaign united 41 GED partner associations.
More details about the GED activities that took place around the world are available at www.globalexhibitionsday.org. There, all GED participants can record their specific activities on a dedicated database. Global Exhibitions Day always takes place on the first Wednesday in June. GED 2019 is therefore scheduled for 5 June 2019.
