What is the outlook for events and exhibitions in 2024 and beyond? Post-pandemic, we’ve already seen a significant uplift in events – and according to a new report from UFI, 2024 is set to be just as promising. In fact, over the next 12 months, the industry is expected to witness a 15% increase in revenues, with 52% of events companies looking to expand their workforce. That’s just scraping the surface of what 2024 has in store for events and exhibitions.

Tuesday 28 November in Paris at the Bureau International des Expositions the world will vote for the venue of EXPO 2030   THE MAYOR OF ROME, ROBERTO GUALTIERI: ''THE WORLD REFLECTS ON WHETHER ALL EVENTS MUST BE BOUGHT WITH PETRODOLLARS". "Battle not only for Rome but for future multilateral events. … I think we did the best we could. I have made my contribution as Mayor, but everyone is committed, now we have to see if all this work will bring the votes. If the countries believe that all the big international events, from the World Cup to the Olympics to the Expo, now have to go to the Gulf because they are bought with petrodollars. … they are done there because you have more money, we have to accept it. It's a choice, but we say to the world: watch out!  … With our proposal, we have put forward the best in an effective and consistent campaign. I am confident because I tend to have the optimism of the will. … We feel that we represent a different model of multilateral events, more in keeping with the spirit of these global institutions, which were not made to be bought by the richest of them all. If Rome wins, it will be a wonderful thing for the city, but also for the future of these multilateral events, it is a battle not only for Rome, but has a general significance. #mayor #rome #expo #expo2030 #italy #People #Territories #Regeneration #Inclusion #Innovation #humanlands

🌍🎉 Celebrating Global Exhibitions Day! 🎉🌍 On this #GlobalExhibitionsDay, we recognize the vital role that exhibitions play in driving the business industry forward. From fostering innovation to creating countless networking opportunities, exhibitions are a cornerstone of growth and development. Following the four main campaign pillars of GED2024, here are a few facts that you may not know about: Exhibitions Drive Progress: According to Classic Exhibitions, 2023 saw the US host more than 13,000 trade shows that year. These include landmark shows such as the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the National Hardware Show and more—each being the cornerstone place to drive the industry forward. Exhibitions Facilitate Economic Growth: A survey by the Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI) shows that visitor and exhibitor spending generated $334B as of last year, with more than 3.4 million jobs created in trade fairs. Exhibitions are Becoming More Sustainable: Innovations in the trade show industry, such as mindful material choices in booth construction, energy-efficient lighting and electronic displays are leading the charge towards a new way of cost-effective AND environmentally-friendly exhibiting. Exhibitions Connect People: In the US alone, an estimated $12.7 million people attended shows and conferences in the country—making exhibitions the true meeting place where ideas are generated and impactful collaborations begin.
