Paris, 13th October: UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, has announced this year’s Global Congress will be a digital-only event, running from 16th to 19th November. The theme of this year’s event is “Resilience”. Originally, the association had planned to organise smaller, regional versions of its annual event in addition to a digital platform. However, on-going travel restrictions and quarantine requirements in many countries made travel too challenging for many delegates.

UFI maintains that speakers at its Global Congress will deliver world-class content and bring the industry together to network, meet and share experiences. Digital programming will be set for regional time slots in Asia/Pacific, Europe/Middle East/Africa, and the Americas, so that participants can connect and follow live from their own time zone, as well as review other sessions on-demand. In addition, participants can also use the platform to network with peers around the world before, during and after the congress.
