UFI Experiences Surge in New Members
Staff -- Tradeshow Week, 7/26/2004
UFI, the Global Assn. of the Exhibition Industry, has more than doubled its membership over the past year with the approval of 25 organizations from 13 nations. This brings UFI's national and international association members to 41.
The new organizations include the Assn. of Korean Exhibition Industries and the Exhibition & Event Assn. of Australasia.
In addition, UFI granted the "UFI Approved" label to 36 international events organized by its members. The label guarantees to exhibitors and visitors that the event meets UFI quality criteria.
The surge in new members isn't surprising. "Perhaps this is a reflection of a growing industry, and that international networking is essential in these times of globalization," said communications manager Lili Eigl.
