DWTC and MCH Group to host this year’s ‘glocalised’ UFI Global Congress

24.09.2020

UFI, the global association of the exhibition industry, is pleased to announce the two congress hosts of the physical congress locations. The two on-site events will be hosted by Dubai World Trade Center (UAE) and by MCH Group (Switzerland).

After having decided to adjust the format of this year’s Global Congress to a ‘glocalised’ and hybrid approach, two destinations were chosen to enable a face-to-face event in two UFI regions, besides the digital sessions and networking. The UFI Global Congress 2020 will take place on-site in two different destinations as well as online over the course of six days:

An on-site event in Dubai, UAE, from 15-16 November
Dedicated online sessions from Asia-Pacific and Americas, from 17-18 November
An on-site event in Basel, Switzerland, from 18-20 November
And online in parallel throughout the week from 15-20 November
Jonas Scharf; managing director venues; MCH Messe Basel AG said: "Our motto: Reloading Live! It is very important for us to prove that we are able to ensure the highest level of safety for all participants under these actual circumstances without compromising what we are best in: First Class Experience Marketing."

Trixie LohMirmand, executive vice president of DWTC, adds: “We are delighted to be the Host of the 87th UFI Congress for the MEA region. After the Dubai Tourism announcement of the resumption of local and International exhibitions and events 1st October, Dubai World Trade Centre is excited to kick off the year-end season with eight events, live, across the tech and lifestyle industries. We are strategically positioned to resume business with the highest standards of safety. The Congress is an occasion for us to showcase our world class health precautionary approach to the industry experts who will be in attendance, physically and virtually.”

Kai Hattendorf, managing director and CEO at UFI, said: “Like our members, we have to adapt to changing circumstances on an almost daily basis, as we work to put together this year’s UFI Global Congress. This event is there to bring our industry’s global community together – something that is needed now more than ever. The whole UFI team is grateful for the support we receive from so many members, who are helping to make this possible. Top of this list are our hosts: MCH and DWTC. They’re not only providing their venues, but are bringing their experiences and passion. We could not do this event without their support.”
