Expo 2015 and
IPMA Italy

Roberto Mori The attention of 148 Countries is being focused on
Past President IPMA the event Expo2015 ( www.expo2015.org ) that
Milano (Italy) will host from May 1st to October 31st
2015.
For the first time in BIE (Bureau International des
Expositions) Expos history, the 412 direct Stakeholders
are going to develop the really universal theme of
the event (Feeding the Planet, Energy for life) in an
innovative way, with the stage left to the mankind.
The expected millions of visitors will then have the
privilege to see and judge in how many different
ways the theme has been developed by all the
Stakeholders. But the opening day will be the end of
a long route started in 2008 and driven by an
unparalleled program comprised of much more than
500 individual projects, each of them independently
managed under the general coordination of the
Organizing Authority, in line with the guidelines issued
by BIE.
