Paris—UFI Global Congress, the international gathering of leaders from the exhibition industry, will meet Nov. 9-12 in Shanghai for its 83rd annual conference.
The Congress, which is entitled “Ripples: The Exhibition Industry in Transformation,” comes at a time of uncertainty for many people in the exhibition industry. The factors include digitalization, political insecurity and shifting global economic power.
“UFI’s annual congress is always a hugely valuable event for the global exhibition industry as we tackle the issues that will define our industry’s future,” said Sergey Alexeev, UFI president.
The Congress is offering a flexible event format this year which means each delegate can choose to follow either the “Strategy Track”, with expert analysis of digitalization and visitor expectations, or focus on the “Operations Track”, looking at exhibitor engagement, and questions of health, safety and security.
Events professionals from more than 40 countries are expected to attend the conference, which will be hosted by the Shanghai Exhibition Industry Association at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre.
