Since 2003, UFI has been organizing meetings, which are initiated by 5 working committees: Marketing Committee,
Operations Committee,
ICT Committee, Sustainable Development Committee
and Education Committee.
Open to all UFI members, each Focus Meeting is dedicated to a specific topic in relation with an exhibition industry issue. Chaired by each respective committee chairman, these one-day meetings are composed of speakers' presentations, as well as round-table discussions and debates between the participants and the lecturers.
