The 1928 convention and subsequent amendments have not been famous for ironclad effectiveness, however, because a rulebook administered by a small agency can’t cope with countries determined to hold fairs. So the idea was that any country that joined the BIE would agree only to participate in BIE-sanctioned expos, and would have to tell other supplicants-the “unofficial” expos-to look elsewhere. Without sensible controls, a nation was subject to the seemingly modest tribute exacted by another nation on behalf of any expo it might choose to stage but a string of such tributes could become a drain on the treasury. Located in Paris, the Bureau of International Expositions (BIE) was formed in 1928 by thirty-one nations determined to limit the number of world’s fairs. WHO DECIDES WHERE WORLD’S FAIRS ARE HELD? Whatever the rage, they’re all still world’s fairs.

At the present time, “world expo” and “international expo” are in considerable favor.

The poet Tennyson referred to the Great Exhibition of 1851 as “the world’s great fair,” and british essay writer and the exhibition was popularly and widely referred to as “the world’s fair.” The term “expo” came into full use in Montreal with Expo 67. The term “world’s fair” is precise, unpretentious and historically meaningful. The nomenclature associated with world’s fairs has varied over time. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WORLD’S FAIR AND AN EXPO? The modern string of world’s fairs began in the middle of the nineteenth century, when the industrial revolution was flourishing. This sort of thing has been going on since ancient times, when traders would hold occasional encampments at central crossroads, and entertainers would find a ready, festive-minded audience. No actual food items are permitted to be distributed or even displayed "fake" food items (plastic, wood, etc.) can be used to represent a country's products.A world’s fair is a gathering of people from many parts of the world, at which they demonstrate their products and their arts, and promote their homelands.No physical items including tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs.

If there is a question in regards to a World Expo display item please reach out to Y-Staff prior to conference.


Country displays with inappropriate depictions of countries may be required to remove part or all of their country display and/or be removed from receiving awards at the discretion of Y-Staff. Country displays should be historically and currently accurate without cultural appropriation or "making fun" of any aspect of country representation. While participating in World Expo students and country displays should remain respectful at all times.We will soon have a safety plan for World Expo available here for students and advisors to review to plan accordingly, so keep checking back! Guidelines Things will look a little different this year as we're working to create the safest conference possible. We're excited to bring back World Expo to KUNA 2023 this year, as we know KUNA just wouldn't be the same without it! We also be giving our World Expo awards on the final day to displays that follow our World Expo Guidelines.
