Set up in 2016, Global Exhibitions Day (GED) is held annually on the first Wednesday of June to drive visibility of the exhibition industry locally, regionally and on a global scale. In recent years, it saw activations and activities from industry players in over 100 countries and regions around the world.
We will be celebrating the 9th Global Exhibitions Day on Wednesday 5 June 2024 with the theme “Exhibitions are catalysts to sustainable futures”.
Four key messages underpin this year’s theme, including:
- Exhibitions drive progress: Exhibitions are platforms to discuss, create and showcase solutions to our universal challenges.
- Exhibitions facilitate economic growth: Exhibitions are engines of economic growth, connecting industries and driving job creation.
- Exhibitions are sustainable: Exhibitions are a sustainable way to drive business and development, gathering communities in one place and managing our environmental impact.
- Exhibitions connect people: Exhibitions are community builders, bringing people together face-to-face to connect, collaborate and contribute.
