An “Expo,” short for exposition, is a large-scale public exhibition designed to showcase and celebrate advancements in industry, technology, culture, or various themes. These events often feature national pavilions, innovative displays, and interactive exhibits, providing opportunities for countries, organizations, and companies to present their achievements and gain international exposure. Expos can be specialized, focusing on a specific theme or industry, or universal, covering broader topics. They serve as platforms for networking, cultural exchange, and the sharing of ideas while fostering collaboration among participants from diverse backgrounds. Expos are typically organized under the auspices of organizations such as the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) and can attract millions of visitors, highlighting the significance of human creativity and technological progress on a global stage.
