EMECA (European Major Exhibition Centres Association) president Roland Bleinroth welcomed UFI (global association of the exhibition industry) president Michael Duck at Messe Stuttgart premises for an informal exchange.
The
two leading associations in the exhibition and business events sector stressed
their intention to intensify their cooperation to cope with the challenges the
business events industry currently encounters.
The talks focussed mainly on the latest
political and economic developments. Even with the resumption of trade fair
operations, the exhibition and events industry is facing numerous challenges,
especially in light of the global situation. "The
ongoing uncertainty about the energy supply and its costs as well as overall
inflation and the still not fully resolved disruption of supply chains has an
impact on the planning and execution of trade fairs and events worldwide",
states Roland Bleinroth.
Close cooperation would be all the more significant to proactively meet the challenges. Through increased sharing of information, best practices and resources, both associations aim to develop solutions to strengthen the exhibition and events industry and increase its resilience. In Europe, EMECA and UFI have been sharing their advocacy efforts with the EEIA (European Exhibition Industry Alliance) since 2012 which proved particularly beneficial during the pandemic. For sustainability, both UFI and EMECA joined forces with JMIC (Joint Meetings Industry Council) and its Net Zero Carbon Events initiative. Another key field where cooperation will make a difference is data and statistics. Data showcasing the exhibition and business events sector’s size, impact on innovation and competitiveness as well as economic effects of the business events and exhibition sector need to be included in national and other official statistics.
Michael Duck says: "Given
the changing global landscape, it is vital that the exhibition and events
industry works together to address the new challenges and strengthen the
exhibition and events industry as a key driver for business and innovation."
