We have quite a few designs available now…. mostly commemorating the 25th anniversary of Expo 88, but also celebrating next year’s 50th anniversary of the New York World’ Fair.
2013 marks the 25th anniversary of Brisbane, Australia’s Expo ‘88.

It’s great to see folks in New York talking about hosting another world’s fair, but 2014 would be a bit too soon.
At the Expo 2015 2nd International Participants Meeting earlier this month, they started the three days of meetings with a ceremony in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (built from 1865 to 1877) in the Piazza del Duomo area in Milan.
After the performance, they led us in a procession to our first day of meetings at the University of Milan. As we progressed along the way, new banners (representing the participating nations thus far) were unveiled.

To open the 2012 International Participants Meeting, Milan’s Expo 2015 authorities arranged to have flag wavers perform at the Piazza del Duomo. This panoramic photo shows a rehearsal earlier in the morning. The flags represent countries (and organizations) that have already signed on to participate in the 6-month world’s fair.
Here’s what a world’s fair site looks like 933 days before it opens.
I had the opportunity to tour Milan’s Expo 2015 site under construction today. They’re still clearing the land of previous infrastructure and building the canal that will ring the site.

Four years ago, at Expo 2008, the “telecabina” would take you from the Zaragoza train station to the world’s fair site. Here’s the view… in breathtaking STANDARD definition!
