What is GED?
Started in 2016 and now in its fifth year, Global Exhibitions Day is a worldwide celebration of the exhibitions and events industry and everyone involved in it. It highlights the power of face-to-face exhibitions to boost business, jobs, innovation and local investment.
The campaign focuses on messages that promote the value of exhibiting for companies, the key support role of exhibitions for the development of trade and internationalisation, and the stimulating role exhibitions play in driving innovation and competitiveness of companies.
UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, facilitates GED by inviting everyone working in exhibitions and trade shows to take part in this campaign by organising and sharing initiatives that promote the industry.
