UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, has announced that it will organise its full flagship series of Regional Conferences around the world in 2023 again onsite.
To respond to the need of the global membership and industry community for in-person meetings, the Conferences will aim to cover post-pandemic recovery, economic pressures, and the business model evolution.
“UFI’s regional conferences are open to all industry professionals, they are trusted meeting places for the industry to gather for business, networking, and learning”, said Adeline Vancauwelaert, UFI’s COO.
While each regional event will usually be primarily attended by participants from the event’s location, UFI is encouraging its healthy and significant share of global participants to connect with their peers in regions across the globe. To reflect this, a global perspective is reflected in the programming also.
Between March and June 2023 The Regional Conferences and co-located UFI events will take place in Asia, Latin America, the MEA region, and Europe - including:
- UFI Asia-Pacific Conference, 2 – 3 March, 2023, In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
- UFI LATAM Conference, 25 – 27 April, 2023, in San José, Costa Rica
- UFI MEA Conference, 9 – 11 May, 2023, in Doha, Qatar
- UFI European Conference, 14 – 16 June, at the MECC, Maastricht, The Netherlands
Co-located with the European Conference, UFI will also run two specialised events focusing on HR and operations and services
