Past Forum

Open to all UFI members, each Forum is dedicated to a specific topic in relation with an exhibition industry issue. Chaired by each respective Wrking Group chair, these one-day meetings are composed of speakers’ presentations, as well as round-table discussions and debates between the participants and the lecturers.
