The Next Great Frontier
Inside Expo
11/26/21 • 20 min
In the 1960s, people (and World Expos) were obsessed with going to space, to infinity and beyond, to where no human had gone before. Shortly after the moon landing in 1969, however, the focus shifted to our problems here on Earth. Over 50 years later and after the success of the Emirates Mars Mission, Expo 2020 Dubai is bringing back an excitement for space as the next great frontier.

Beyond Sound and Vision
Inside Expo
12/14/21 • 17 min
The Expo 2020 team had to adapt to our new, largely online world. But Virtual Expo isn’t the first time a World Expo revolutionised how it was experienced by audiences. The first visual broadcast of a news event in history took place at the New York’s World’s Fair in 1939. Before its public debut at the New York’s World’s Fair, television broadcasts were confined to experimentation in labs. Today, Expo 2020 Dubai is once again pushing its experience to new heights with Virtual Expo.

In the first of a two-part series on Expo legacies, we’re bringing you two stories about two very different Expo experiences, one in London and one in Lisbon.
