UFI作为迄今为止世界展览业最重要的国际性组织,对展会项目的审核非常严格,比较看重展会的国际化和专业化程度,对展会的服务、质量、规模、知名度皆要求达到一定标准。这也是为什么在业界存在共识,获得UFI认可就相当于被打上了高品质贸易展览会的荣誉标签。

万耀企龙是UFI会员之一,早在2005年,旗下的中国国际地面材料及铺装技术展览会(DOMOTEX asia/ CHINAFLOOR)就获得了UFI认证。之后,公司的自创品牌展——亚洲宠物展(Pet Fair Asia)也通过了UFI的专业认证。

或许很少有人知道,我们与 UFI之间有着较深的渊源。曾有两位万耀企龙的前董事局主席——Arie Brienen先生和Ruud G. van Ingen先生,分别出任过UFI的全球主席。作为UFI大家庭中的一份子,万耀企龙一直都积极活跃于UFI的各项活动中,曾多次获得UFI年度专项大奖,有些已成为了万耀企龙展会服务中的重要特色,比如获得2011年度UFI营销大奖的Lead Marketing产品,一直深受展商、观众的好评。

我们十分看重UFI这一国际性的会展业交流平台,在这里,我们与世界知名展览企业分享成功案例和行业观点,了解国际会展业的发展趋势,并寻求国际间的合作。举例来说,始创于1997年的亚洲宠物展(Pet Fair Asia),伴随着中国宠物业的飞速发展,经过十九年的历练,已然成为中国宠物行业的标杆性展会。但如何在原有基础上进一步提升展会质量,扩大展会的国际影响力,曾一度成为我们遇到的难题。加入UFI后,一方面,展会在打造国际化专业展方面吸取了很多海外的成功经验,国际展商和观众比例大幅增长;另一方面,借助UFI的品牌影响力,展会也赢得了更高的国际知名度及更多展商和观众的认可和信心。

UFI年会是行业的交流盛会,全球会展行业的精英们齐聚一堂,交流业界信息,进行思维上的碰撞,不仅有行业年度大总结,更有对全球会展业发展的深入探讨,为行业的未来建言献策。每年的UFI年会,除了能结交很多业界的新老朋友外,最新会展理念的分享也为我带来很多启发,使我受益匪浅。

时隔十年,UFI年会再次回到中国举办,能作为本次“亚太地区”主题论坛的主持人,我感到十分荣幸。近些年,亚太在全球经济中的重要地位逐步显现,国际展览业亦将目光聚焦在了亚太这一区域,其中,又以中国市场的表现最为耀眼且备受关注。本次UFI年会的回归就很好地印证了这一点。目前中国会展业的发展面临着众多机遇和挑战,将有更多的国际展会品牌涌入,同时也会有越来越多的中国本土品牌跨出国门,寻求更大的发展空间和国际资源支持。随着中国会展水平的不断提升,其辐射全亚太乃至全世界的影响力也将逐渐彰显。因此,业界普遍相信,亚太会展业将比欧美地区更具活力,而中国作为亚太区的代表仍存在巨大的潜力。我们希望借此活动能与业界共同探讨亚太地区会展行业发展的未来。

On 10 November, the Special Interest Groups meeting : AsiaPacific of 83rd UFI Congress will be moderated by David Zhong, President & CEO, VNU Exhibitions Asia (China).

As UFI member, VNU Exhibitions Asia (China) has two UFI Approved Events: DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR and Pet Fair Asia.

The story between VNU and UFI began long ago.Two former chairman of the directors board in VNU were the UFI President. As a member of the UFI family, VNU has been playing an active role in the activities of UFI. VNU has also got a number of UFI awards under its belt, some of them are now feature services in VNUs exhibitions. For example, the Lead Marketing, which won the 2011 UFI Marketing, has gained extensive recognition from exhibitors and visitors.

As this years moderator of the Special Interest Groups meeting: Asia-Pacific, David hopes to take advantage of the platform of UFI to discuss the future development of the exhibition industry of Asia-Pacific region with global professionals, and to find out a steady and sustainable way for the industrys development.

David thinks that in recent years, the importance of Asia Pacific region has become more evident in global economy, and the global exhibition industry have set their eyes in this region. Within the region,the Chinese exhibition market is most impressive and attracted industrial attention. The return of the UFI Congress to Shanghai is a good example of this. Now, the Chinese exhibition industry faces various opportunities and challenges. We will see more international brand exhibitions coming into here and more Chinese exhibitions brand extending abroad to seek even greater development space and the support of international resources. With further development, the influence of Chinese exhibition industry in the region will increase even more. Therefore, the global industry generally believe that the Asia Pacific exhibition industry will be more dynamic than that of the Europe and US, and that China as the regional example will display great vigor.
