The 2027 or 2028 BIE recognised world's fair will be a specialised exposition. As such it must be at most three months in length and illustrate a specific theme.[1] It could be held in 2027 or 2028.
Five countries have submitted competing candidatures to organise a Specialised Expo in either 2027 or 2028: the United States of America (in Minnesota[2]), Thailand (in Phuket[3]), Serbia (in Belgrade), Spain (in Malaga,[4]), and Argentina (in San Carlos de Bariloche).
The candidature list closed on 28 January 2022. Each candidate will submit a detailed candidature dossier by June 2022, and the BIE will then organise Enquiry Missions, assessing the feasibility and viability of each candidature project. The host country of Specialised Expo 2027/28 will then be elected by BIE Member States, gathered in a General Assembly set to take place in June 2023. [5]
