SHARJAH / WAM
Under the theme “Fostering Recovery: WTCs and the Exhibitions Industryâ€, the Expo Centre Sharjah recently participated in a virtual international meeting organised by the World Trade Centre’s Association (WTCA) to strengthen international cooperation in exploring the future and to propose realistic solutions and recommendations that help develop the necessary plans to revitalise the exhibitions and conferences industry and its role in economic
development.
This comes as part of the centre’s keenness to keep up to date with the global developments of the exhibitions sector, which has been affected by the repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Moderated by Saif Mohammed Al-Midfa, CEO of the Expo Centre Sharjah, the meeting held in the presence of Ana Maria Arango, Regional Manager, Latin America, UFI, Kai Hattendorf, Managing Director and CEO, UFI, and Pamela Pascual, President and CEO, World Trade Centre Metro, Manila.
Highlighting the early recovery efforts exerted by the UAE to speed up the comeback of the exhibitions and conferences sector, Al-Midfa pointed out that such efforts have been the main reason for the return of the activities and events since last September.
