The tenth edition of this global gathering will be hosted by Istanbul Expo Center (IFM). Haluk Kanca, General Manager of the IFM, stated, “Our intention in hosting the 2012 UCF is to provide the world’s leading exhibition organisers with an exciting forum on the banks of the Bosphorus, for the exchange of ideas and information. This is a unique opportunity for Istanbul to bring together the key players in the exhibition business.” Limited to 100 participants, the two-day, by invitation-only event will take place at the fivestar Swissotel which ranks in the 2011 Conde Nast Traveler Gold List.
UFI Managing Director, Paul Woodward said “We are very excited to be bringing the UFI CEO Forum to Istanbul. It’s a great city for a meeting like this, a place where the world has come together to do business for centuries. Given all the activity in the Turkish exhibitions market, we expect to see many new CEOs added to the group of long-term supporters of this important event. Thanks to Istanbul Expo Center for their support in hosting us for this meeting.”
The UCF series of conferences is acknowledged as the premier networking event for CEOs of the world’s leading exhibition organising companies. The quality and experience of the UCF speakers and participants guarantees that the information exchanged is at the highest level. UCF speakers traditionally spark dynamic exchanges driving CEOs to adapt and develop new strategic concepts suited to the current exhibition industry environment. UFI President Eric Everard describes the objectives of the event saying, “the UCF is a unique opportunity for us to develop creative ideas to confront the tough issues facing the exhibition industry today.
These brainstorming sessions allow us to share and develop strategic concepts as we continue to move ahead with exciting and innovative approaches in this unique face-to-face marketing media.”
