Informa Markets in India

Exhibitions do more than fill venues. They fuel economies, create jobs, connect industries, and unlock opportunities at a scale that shapes the future.

Across Asia-Pacific, exhibitions bring together millions of businesses and visitors, generating billions in economic value while supporting jobs, innovation and industry growth.

As we count down to Global Exhibitions Day 2026, we celebrate the exhibitions that connect industries, create opportunities, and generate lasting economic impact.

Tomorrow, the spotlight turns to the power of exhibitions and the impact they continue to create across industries worldwide.

From enabling business growth and knowledge exchange to industry transformation, exhibitions remain powerful catalysts of progress in an increasingly connected world.

As we get ready to mark Global Exhibitions Day 2026, we celebrate the communities, industries, and platforms that continue to shape opportunities through the strength of coming together.

Behind every growing industry is an ecosystem built on conversations, partnerships, and opportunities created through meaningful engagement.

With just 2 days to go for Global Exhibitions Day 2026, we look forward to recognising the exhibition industry’s role in enabling businesses to connect, industries to collaborate, and innovation to thrive across global markets.

At Informa Markets India, we remain committed to building platforms that continue to bring industries together and move business communities forward.
