【“We are Exhibitioners!” How we’re Celebrating Global Exhibition Day】Last week, we furnished our offices with a Global Exhibition Day (GED) wall, which attracted our colleagues to stop by and take selfies. We organized a GED party in the Shanghai office, together with our first birthday party since the outbreak. The celebration was also put online, so even those who couldn't attend onsite were still able to share the moment along with their best wishes. Reed Exhibitions Greater China will be joining hands with fellow exhibitioners worldwide to celebrate Global Exhibition Day! Please download the pdf to view more!

For #GED19, IELA is boosting the Careers in the Exhibition Logistics.
We have asked IELA Members staff tell us why they recommend a career in the exhibition logistics industry and an article has been shared today on LinkedIn.
It is a summary of real-life reasons from real people which will motivate many to join our Industry!
This question is part of our GED19 Voices of the Exhibition Industry initiative, focusing on promoting the marvellous job opportunities within the Exhibition Industry.
Most of them highlight that the Exhibition Industry brings them forefront of new trends and that the logistics involving the exhibitions is an empowering daily challenge.
This special initiative for #GED19 goes on the line with our Exhibition Logistics Career Path campaign on Instagram

IELA has created a #GED19 Voices of the Exhibition Logistics Industry panel on its Instagram (@ielaassociation) to focus on accentuating the marvellous job opportunities within the Exhibition Industry. It is a summary of real-life reasons from real people which will motivate many to join our Industry!

This initiative for Global Exhibitions Day 2019 follows the main focus of our Instagram account: the “Exhibition Logistics Career Path”, where we have been sharing pictures of our teams on-site, working as teams to serve beyond expectations.

On the occasion of GED19, we have created a nice #GED19 Voices of the Exhibition Logistics Panel, occupying 21 slots, where IELA Members describe their different job positions, why they love to work in this industry and why they recommend a career in exhibition logistics.

Most of them highlight that the Exhibition Industry brings them forefront of new trends and that the logistics involving the exhibitions is an empowering daily challenge.

Honduras will again join the celebration of the GED with an early morning get-together of key stakeholders, from different sectors. The gathering will allow participants to discuss the past, current and most of all, the future of Exhibitions, in Honduras. Four special guests from the Exhibitions Industry in other countries have been invited to participate remotely in a Bullet Points Session. The event will take place in an open-air space of the Clarion Hotel in the capital city, Tegucigalpa. The celebration is promoted again by Eventia and ExpoFerias, two well-known honduran companies in the Exhibitions Industry.

After being in polar darkness, the industry is now finally awaiting for the sun to rise again. Each sunrise is both the proof and the celebration of the return of new power.

This campaign aims to create a wave of hope & confidence that will spread over the globe from west to east through all time zones on GED2021.

All event professionals are invited to participate in a 3-step action:

Set your alarm clock & get ready:

1. Take your GED picture/video with the sun rising behind you (make it yours: e.g. in front of your venue, with event signboard, etc)
2. Prepare your message, including #GED2021 & #GED2021risesagain, explaining why exhibitions will rise again or the power of exhibitions and the key role in rebuilding and recovering communities and economies.
3. Share it on social media on June 2nd during your local sunrise to participate in the RISE AGAIN wave.

A communication project conceived for Global Exhibitions Day and developed in two videos, with which AEFI intends to embrace the Italian talent and work that the trade fairs convey around the world.
The second video, distributed on Wednesday 3 June for Global Exhibitions Day 2020, gathers together all the values expressed in the first part, remembering how much Italy has been a huge generator of trade, paving the way to China and the Americas, of essential inventions such as Meucci’s telephone or Barsanti and Matteucci’s internal combustion engine and great products and styling that is famous the world over.
From what might seem a distant past, remote, even, a strong “WE ARE, WE MAKE” is rising up from a country whose trade fairs are a sector of fundamental importance as is borne out by the “numbers” that the sector annually generates and moves.
