EXPO2020 DUBAI
What is an Expo?
ď ľ
An Expo is a global event that aims at educating the public, sharing innovation, promoting progress and fostering cooperation. It is organized by a host country that invites other countries, companies, international organizations, the private sector, the civil society and the general public to participate. Due to the diversity of its participants, from top decision makers to children, Expos offer a multifaceted event where extraordinary exhibitions, diplomatic encounters, business meetings, public debates and live shows take place at the same time.
Introduction
The International Exhibitions Bureau (French: Bureau International des Expositions, BIE) is an intergovernmental organization created to supervise international exhibitions (also known as Expos or World's Fairs) falling under the jurisdiction of the Convention Relating to International Exhibitions.
The BIE was established by the Convention Relating to International Exhibitions, signed in Paris on 22 November 1928, with the following goals:
to oversee the calendar, the bidding, the selection and the organization of World Expositions; and
to establish a regulatory framework under which Expo organizers and participants may work together under the best conditions.
To May 24, 2013, 167 member countries have adhered to the BIE Convention.
The BIE regulates two types of expositions: Registered Exhibitions (commonly called World Expos) and Recognized Exhibitions (commonly called International or Specialized Expositions). Horticultural Exhibitions with an A1 grade, regulated by the International Association of Horticultural Producers, are recognized since 1960
Here are 4 reasons why Expos are truly unique events, from the perspectives of their different publics. For the international community : Expo is a dialogue platform for progress and cooperation An Expo brings the whole world together to find solutions to a fundamental challenge of humanity. This challenge is the theme of the Expo. In Milan 2015, the theme will be "Feeding the planet, energy for life" and Astana 2017 will be dedicated to "Future energy.“
For the general public : Expo is an educating and entertaining experience For the host country : Expo is a tool for nation branding and development For participants : Expo allows international outreach and economic opportunities
