UFI The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry

UFI is the global association of the world’s leading tradeshow organisers and fairground owners, as well as the major national and international exhibition associations, and selected partners of the exhibition industry.

UFI’s main goal is to represent, promote and support the business interests of its members and the exhibition industry. UFI directly represents around 50,000 exhibition industry employees globally, and also works closely with its 69 national and regional associations members.

840 member organisations in 87 countries and regions around the world are presently signed up as members.

More than 895 UFI approved (International) events proudly bear the UFI approved label, a quality guarantee for visitors and exhibitors alike. UFI members continue to provide the international business community with a unique marketing media aimed at developing outstanding face-to-face business opportunities.

UFI members are organisations (companies, associations, federations, etc), admitted in two categories: Full Members and Associate Members. In addition, UFI approves a certain number of exhibitions and trade fairs organised by its member organisers, upon strict selection criteria.

Being a member of UFI is a clear indication of competence and professionalism in the exhibition industry. UFI members benefit from access to a variety of industry resources, education programmes and networking opportunities.
