Expocentre is inviting you to participate in the 6th International Forum of Exhibition Industry 5pEXPO, which will run from 6 to 8 June, 2012 on the Premises of Expocentre Fairgrounds.

It is a project, held to bring together leaders of the global exhibition business and small regional companies at the same venue.

Exhibition events play a significant and still growing role in development of the international cooperation. Annually, about 20 thousand foreign companies from over 100 countries participate in Russian exhibitions and trade fairs. Every year, more than 300 thousand foreign specialists visit Russian exhibitions to establish contacts with potential partners.

The objectives of the Forum are to accelerate integration of Russia and the CIS countries into the global economy and of exhibition companies into the global exhibition business; to expand the range of services on offer and raise their quality; to achieve better awareness by exhibition companies and their customers of the current situation in the exhibition industry and prospects of its development.

What makes the Forum interesting for the participants and the visitors is an opportunity to determine the most promising thematic trends and exhibition venues. Forum participants will be able to exchange information on exhibition and trade fair programmes; potential consumers of exhibition services will be able to familiarize themselves with numerous offers on participation in exhibitions all over the world, to set contacts with their organizers, to discuss issues of interest directly at the Forum.

5pEXPO is an all encompassing exhibition and forum, providing consumers with information on every aspect of activity of exhibition and trade fair centres, companies and operators, developers and suppliers of exhibition and display equipment, as well as many other exhibition-related companies.

The organizers are sure that 5pEXPO Forum will become a landmark event for the international and the Russian exhibition communities.
