World Exhibition Industry Day, designated by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), is observed annually on the first Wednesday of June. On this occasion, Dr. Rahim Jalili, CEO of Khuzestan International Exhibition Company and President of the Iranian Association of International Exhibitions, issued the following message:

In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

The exhibition is the crossroads of ideas and the convergence of creativity; a place where concepts and capital join hands and knowledge and technology are linked to production and industry. Moreover, exhibitions mirror the culture of nations and serve as a bridge to social development and the expansion of international relations—a space where the synergy of civilizations is fostered and the foundation for community growth is established.

This year’s global theme, “Exhibitions Unleash Potentials,” perfectly captures the transformative power of this industry in advancing individuals, organizations, and society as a whole.

Although Iran’s exhibition industry has made great strides in recent years, there still remains a considerable road ahead to reach its rightful place on the global stage. No matter how long this journey may be, it requires unity, solidarity, and constructive collaboration among all stakeholders in the country’s exhibition sector.

While congratulating everyone on the 10th anniversary of World Exhibition Industry Day, I hope that, with the dedication and commitment of each one of you—our tireless pioneers—and through unity and collective wisdom, we will witness brighter days and a radiant future for Iran’s beloved exhibition industry, God willing.
