Being a member of UFI is a clear indication of competence and professionalism in the exhibition industry.
UFI Membership Admission
It is important for UFI members to get the most out of their membership, which is why we offer five separate membership categories:
- Exhibition Organiser
- Exhibition Venue
- Exhibition Organiser and Venue
- Partner of the Exhibition Industry
- Association
All requests for UFI membership admission are initially examined by the Membership Committee (comprised of at least 2 members of the UFI Board of Directors and the UFI Managing Director) and then recommended to the Executive Committee for acceptance. All exhibition organisers must submit at least one of their exhibitions as a “UFI Approved Event” or “UFI Approved International Event” in order to become a member.
What are UFI Approved Events & UFI Approved International Events?
Both UFI approvals are recognised as a high quality label awarded to a UFI member for a specific exhibition after a detailed quality assessment. A recent survey of UFI’s membership showed that the UFI Approved status signifies quality and global recognition while also playing a role in attracting both exhibitors and visitors.
