The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI) is set to hold a one-day conference on Africa Exhibition Outlook on 13 September at the Johannesburg Expo Centre in South Africa. This was announced by UFI last week.
The event, which is expected to run under the theme, “Unlocking Untapped Opportunities,” will be hosted by GL Events South Africa and supported by Johannesburg Tourism, in collaboration with the Association of African Exhibition Organisers (AAXO).
“Expert speakers from across Africa and the Middle East will present business opportunities in key African markets, economic outlook, incentive schemes for new entrants, cross-borders collaboration, among other relevant and trending topics. The day includes a business lunch for attendees and will end with networking drinks,” said the UFI.
Some of the topics to be presented and discussed include: Economic Impact of Exhibitions – Global and Africa, The Role of Convention Bureaus in Supporting the Industry in South Africa and A View of the Exhibition Industry in the Rest of Africa among others.
The event is coming at a time when the exhibition industry is recovering from the effects of the Covid-19 epidemic which paralysed it for two years.
