International Expositions are defined by the Bureau international des expositions / International bureau of expositions ( B.I.E ) as a forum for the exchange of information which fosters better understanding amongst people. Each nation is invited to share its ideas and to demonstrate the progress it has achieved on a theme determined by the exposition organizer.

The B.I.E., a Paris-based organization of 88 member nations, regulates the frequency and quality of international expositions.
