Global Exhibitions Day (GED) 2018 will be held on 6 June, 2018, globally, UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, announces today. Through activities by exhibition industry associations and companies all around the world, the aim of this largest awareness campaign for the exhibition and events industry is to raise the profile of the sector as one of the most vital contributors to economic growth in cities, regions, and countries.

Now in its third year, GED is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the exhibition industry and highlight the positive impact it has on jobs, business, innovation and local investment. In 2017, 41 partner associations came together to support this awareness-raising campaign, carrying out activities in 67 countries and regions around the world. The campaign reached over three million people on Twitter alone.

To further the industry’s growth and progression, UFI’s 2018 President, Mr. Corrado Peraboni, asked the GED steering group to focus this year’s efforts on finding new ways to connect young people to the exhibition industry and, more specifically, to raise awareness about the amazing career opportunities the sector has to offer. To this end, this year’s GED events and programmes will centre on two key issues: industry advocacy, and attracting the right talent.

One initiative that UFI is promoting in collaboration with GED18 is the “Follow me” videos. As part of this initiative, UFI has invited members to create “Follow me” videos that showcase a specific role or introduce a certain employee to demonstrate just how rich and varied the career opportunities within the exhibition industry are. All videos relevant to GED18 will be added to the Global Exhibitions Day playlist at www.ufi.tv.

Over the coming weeks, UFI will roll out a new online data collection tool that enables GED supporters to share their activities. This will help to grow the GED18 community and improve communications about all the amazing initiatives happening around the world. This tool will be available to all industry professionals on the GED website so anyone interested in participating in GED18 can easily find out what is happening in their area.

UFI would like to invite all industry professionals to get ready for and get involved in the many different events that will be taking place around the world – and help make GED18 the best Global Exhibitions Day yet!
