Sholto Douglas-Home, Expo 2020’s Chief Marketing, Communications & Sales Officer told ARN how the City will engage with businesses as well as the wider public.
The Expo 2020 site will gradually return to life in September ahead of Expo City Dubai’s official opening in October.
With an array of diverse social and cultural attractions, the comprehensive city will carry forward Expo 2020 Dubai’s magic, energy and excitement.
Marjan Faraidooni, Chief Experience Officer at Expo 2020 said family and youth remain an integral part of their plans.
