15 March 2022: Global Exhibitions Day (GED) recognises the important role that trade exhibitions play in driving economies throughout the world. Exhibitions have traditionally played a role in bolstering and growing economic sectors and this year is no exception!
The 2022 GED campaign will focus on the irreplaceable value of physical exhibitions and face-to-face business events in creating platforms for economic growth and recovery, as well as being the perfect occasion to network and meet new people.
While the event is facilitated by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, UFI, all businesses and professionals in the sector are encouraged to join the GED celebrations on 1 June 2022 by highlighting the impact of exhibitions on local economies – both in building businesses and connecting people from around the world.
“We have seen many examples of trade shows taking place all over the world. Many of you participated in Global Exhibition Day (GED) activities in the past. Let’s make use of this excellent platform for the industry to celebrate collaboration, invest in advocacy efforts and recognise success,” said Monica Lee-Müller, UFI President, “Let’s celebrate Global Exhibitions Day together on 1 June 2022!”
From videos and meetings with policymakers, to webinars and hybrid events, to webcasts, social campaigns, virtual running parties, and more, UFI is inviting all event industry professionals and enthusiasts to get ready for, and get involved in the many different events that will take place around the world and help make GED2022 the best Global Exhibitions Day yet!
