World expo stories
World expos
World Expos are major international events. They can also be known as a World’s Fair or, less frequently, a universal exhibition.
Walt Disney was notable for his participation in the 1964 Worlds Fair. His company, WED Enterprises (now Walt Disney Imagineering), debuted theme park rides, including It’s a Small World, The Carousel Theatre of Progress, and Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. All of these would later debut in Disney parks.
Experiential technology is vital for engaging visitors. It helps to convey information compellingly, making exhibits come to life. World’s Fairs are also a commercial opportunity for brands looking to showcase new innovations or promote products they believe improve everyday life.
Bureau International des Expositions is an independent body designed to supervise international exhibitions such as World Expos.
Expo 2020 Dubai was disrupted by the global pandemic of the same year. It eventually opened to the public in 2021 with the theme of Connecting Minds, Creating the Future” Three different thematic pavilions explored the topics of opportunity, mobility and sustainability. Expo City Dubai remains as a legacy of the event.
