The message for GED2020
Global Exhibitions Day this year will focus on the message: Exhibitions are key to rebuilding economies.
Our message concentrates on the idea of connecting, reconnecting, starting and rebuilding communities and economies. We are promoting that face-to-face exhibitions are the fastest way to reconnect with your marketplace, and that the connections made at exhibitions will lead to the renewal of our economy.
GED 2020 is a unification of the industry, an occasion to share hope and optimism, and a focus on the important role of exhibitions in reconnecting and rebuilding communities and economies.

Interactive map
Add a memorable moment from your exhibition to the map to show how exhibitions connect people and build businesses.
We are looking for: presidents cutting ribbons, new product launches, videos of business leaders giving keynotes, industry-changing demos, smiling faces of innovation award winners, Nobel prize winners giving talks, recipients of education grants … all the single moments that help to tell the story.
