Tenth Edition of Global Exhibitions Day to be Celebrated on June 4, 2025

5/14/2025

PARIS — With less than one month remaining until Global Exhibitions Day 2025, the exhibition industry across the world is preparing to drive visibility and demonstrate its impact.

Celebrated each year on the first Wednesday of June, the tenth edition of Global Exhibitions Day (GED) will take place on Wednesday, 4 June 2025. This year’s theme, “Exhibitions Unleash Potential,” showcases how exhibitions empower individuals, elevate organisations, and drive economic and social growth through direct in-person interactions and connections.

Key Campaign Pillars

This year’s campaign centres around four key areas where exhibitions unleash potential:
  1. Industries: Exhibitions foster collaboration and spark innovation, propelling entire industries forward.
  2. Individuals: Exhibitions enable new, emerging and established talent to grow and succeed.
  3. Communities: Exhibitions power economic development and societal progress for countries and communities.
  4. Companies: Exhibitions amplify reach, build brands, foster connections and drive revenue through face-to-face engagement.
UFI President, Hugh Jones, comments: “On Global Exhibitions Day 2025, we recognise how exhibitions serve as powerful platforms that unlock potential across multiple sectors and communities. They create space for new ideas to emerge, for talent to thrive, and for industries to grow through meaningful exchange and collaboration. This day is an opportunity to celebrate the people and partnerships that drive progress and to highlight how exhibitions continue to shape a more connected and dynamic future.”

How You Can Get Involved

Resources and tools to help you celebrate GED 2025 can be found on the campaign website. Some ideas on how to get involved include:

  • Partner with local media to raise awareness of GED and the exhibition industry.
