IFES AGM & Convention 2010
The 2010 IFES AGM and Convention will be held on 21-26 June 2010 in Shanghai, China.
The event will take place on site at the EXPO 2010 Universal World Exhibition which will take place from 1 May to 31 October 2010. China is the second Asian country, after Japan (EXPO 2005 in Aichi), to stage a world exhibition in the 21st century.
A 5.28 km² exhibition area has been set aside for the EXPO park and the national pavilions, right in the middle of the mega-city of Shanghai, not far from the city’s old and new centres. Visitors will be able to stroll around the site on both sides of the Huangpu River and enjoy the view of the water and the “Bund” promenade.
The EXPO site is divided into five zones: three on the eastern bank of the river (in the Pudong district with the famous skyline of modern Shanghai) and two on the western bank (in the Puxi district), closer to the old city centre. The two sides will be joined by bridges and tunnels for cars and underground trains. Foot-passenger ferry services across the river are also planned.
Even though most of the visitors are expected to come from China, an international opinion research institute commissioned by the EXPO organisers has found that approximately five per cent of the guests are likely to come from abroad. That would equal 3.5 million people!
A trip on your own could be a daunting experience but this IFES meeting, organised in collaboration with FAMAB and will give you an exclusive access to this event as part of a VIP Group.
As well as the benefits of the group visits with organised transfers, no queuing and priority access to selected exhibits, IFES will organise informative speaker sessions, focused on regional issues and perspectives.
