Currently both teams are working tirelessly to implement government led measures and complying with any restrictions so they can operate in the best way possible for the 45,000 people expected across the two events in Autumn.

The rules of delivery for the Paris and Warsaw expo’s both rely on government updates which are expected to be finalised in the summer – so stay tuned.

There is nowhere else you can find so many opportunities under one roof.
