Here's what the Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo 2020 has in store

Ever since the declaration was made that the Expo 2020 was taking place in Dubai, there has been a great zeal and enthusiasm for this exhibition. After the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup, Expo 2020 is going to be another feather in Dubai’s cap. The Expo 2020 has had the Dubai Exhibition Centre don a new avatar altogether, something different from the conferences in Dubai that it hosts. Known to be the world’s third-largest event – in terms of economic and cultural aspect – Expo 2020 plays a pivotal role in collaborating nations, encouraging innovation, and bringing in new ideas to accelerate the economic growth. It features fun and eye-catching attraction for all the visitors.

Before we delve more into the events of the exhibitions, let’s get an idea of what exactly is Expo 2020?

EXPO 2020 is primarily a world expo, universal exposition, or international exposition on a global scale. It serves as a platform for several nations to represent themselves and display their outstanding innovations and achievements in all aspects of their society. Expo 2020 is internationally sanctioned by the International Bureau of Exhibitions (BIE) – an eminent legal body that allows all world exhibitions.

This time, Expo 2020, which will be held in the Dubai Exhibition Centre, will be a blueprint for innovative and progressive cities. The main motive of this exhibition is to make a genuine effort towards growth and development, and impact critical global issues viz. poverty, environment, and cleanliness. Thus, the theme for this year’s Expo 2020 is ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’.

Having said this, the Expo 2020 has some great fun programs/activities lined up for all its visitors.

We mention a few of them below:

This Expo 2020 offers you a taste of varied culture from approximately five continents. Here’s what to expect from the exhibition -

· Top celebrities will be performing comedy skits, dance, song, etc. Local artists will also contribute to keeping you entertained.

· There will be virtual theatres and fashion shows. Along with this, beautiful sequences of acrobats will also be held at various spots at the Dubai Exhibition Centre.

· For the parents-kids duo, the Expo 2020 presents the make-your-own-robot workshop.

· Kids can even entertain themselves at the 3D human organs and exercise-games.

· There will be the most amazing ‘out of the box’ thinkers and creators from various countries who will address several streams and provide you with a way to make your child and your dreams come true.

· For the fitness conscious, the Expo will also have sports and yoga.

· The augmented virtual reality activities are a great way to encourage you in being at your A-game when it comes to fitness.

· And for those who like to work hard and party harder, the Expo 2020 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre offers you pyrotechnics displays and concerts taking the level up for the entire experience.

Having said that, there are a few things that you need to know if you plan on visiting the Expo 2020 for a conference in Dubai or any other event:

- The Expo will commence on UAE’s 50th National Day, which promises great entertainment and views of spectacular shows all day long.

- The dates of Expo 2020 are 20th October 2020 to 10th April 2021.

- The logo is decided by His Highness, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

- The logo is a golden ring that was discovered some time ago in an archaeological excavation which was held at a site called Saroug Al Hadeed.

With this event in the pipeline, Dubai has yet again proved to stand firm as a benchmark for tourism, business, and hospitality industry. This event is a must visit for all those who want to discover all the wonders that this city has to offer!

Nickelodeon Unveils Pipeline of More Than 800 New Episodes

Upfront Presentation by Nickelodeon Highlights New Shows, Original Short-Form, and New Location-Based and Virtual Experiences

Nickelodeon, a kids’ network, detailed its plans for serving the new and next generation of kids on new and next-generation platforms as it heads into the 2018-2019 season.

With content plans spanning its ecosystem, Nickelodeon launched its largest content pipeline ever—more than 800 brand-new episodes of new and returning series—a 20% increase over last year; opportunities in social through original short-form content; a reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and a remake of the preschool entertainment landmark, Blue’s Clues; moves into areas of emerging tech, with original VR and AR experiences; and location-based experiences, like this summer’s family musical festival, Nickelodeon SlimeFest.

Details were unveiled during the network’s annual upfront presentation, held at New York City’s Palace Theatre, home of the critically acclaimed SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical.

“With our share growing and content pipeline in overdrive, we are reinventing ourselves to best serve the new and next generation of audiences on new and next-generation platforms. Kids are both our anchor and North Star, and that bond with the audience allows us to connect to them everywhere,” said Cyma Zarghami, President, Nickelodeon Group.

During the presentation, Zarghami previewed the network’s upcoming content slate which includes: a development deal for Los Casagrandes, a brand-new companion series for animated hit The Loud House; Pony, a new animated comedy series developed by Nickelodeon International in the UK; a new game show, Keep It Spotless, executively produced by WWE Superstar John Cena; a second season of Lip Sync Battle Shorties, starring Nick Cannon and JoJo Siwa; the reimagined Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; a remake of the groundbreaking series Blue’s Clues; and Musical Dares, a new short-form series created and executive produced by Nick Cannon, and the first project by Viacom Digital Studios for Nickelodeon’s YouTube channel.

The network also reviewed plans to continue expanding its footprint through innovative new partnerships and technologies.

It announced a new partnership with IMAX to bring to SlimeZone—its first multi-player, social VR experience—to select IMAX VR centres globally this month. It is also unveiling a brand-new AR mode for its number-one Sky Whale mobile gaming app, which averages two million active monthly users and has garnered nearly 30 million downloads.

The network is also expanding its location-based offerings with Nickelodeon SlimeFest, produced in partnership with Live Nation, the multi-day music festival for kids and families will take place in Chicago, Illinois, from 9 to 10 June and feature performances by Grammy-winning DJ and producer Zedd, Liam Payne, multi-platinum artist Flo Rida, and Lip Sync Battle Shorties and social media star JoJo Siwa.

The network also has created and launched a new brand campaign, called “That’s Me,” that showcases children’s drive to be honest and authentic individuals who celebrate differences and diversity.

Beginning this week, Nick will launch the first round of spots, which celebrates history-making women and highlights the brand’s longstanding legacy of strong female characters, to inspire and empower a new generation of girls.
