BIE Day Expo 2017 Astana DSK FINAL EN SPECIALISED EXPO 2017 ASTANA – “FUTURE ENERGY” BIE DAY, 9 SEPTEMBER 2017 Dimitri Kerkentzes Deputy Secretary General of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) I am very honoured to welcome you all to the BIE Day at Expo 2017 Astana. For the Bureau International des Expositions, this is an important opportunity to celebrate the efforts of our Member States, of the Expo Organiser and of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan and to share this moment with new and with longstanding friends of the Expo family, and above all, to show our appreciation to those who have made Expo 2017 Astana such a success. With 170 Member States, the BIE is today one of the largest international organisations on the planet that has strongly evolved, not only thanks to a much wider participation, but also due to its scope of action. Through each Expo, the BIE has helped the Organiser and Member States agree on common principles of action based on the notion of respect and cooperation. The 21st century is one of interdependence. Expos today reflect the growing awareness that each action has long-term consequences on the environment and on our lives. Expos serve as unique instruments of progress and cooperation dedicated to sharing innovation and promoting global dialogue on themes that engage the entire world community. Gathering over 130 official participants around a theme of global relevance, Expo 2017 Astana has succeeded in establishing fruitful dialogue among Governments and citizens on Future Energy. While enhancing public knowledge about the ways we produce, access and consume energy, Expo 2017 has stimulated debate on the direction we are moving in, what has been done and what is still to be achieved. Fully committed to the Expo project, Organisers and participants, with the cooperation and guidance of the BIE, have created an event that has improved our understanding of the energy challenges facing us and future generations. Expo 2017 has been a unique stage for innovation, knowledge-sharing and cooperation, a platform for taking stock of our challenges and projecting ourselves into the future. Decision-makers, experts and citizens have gathered to share the solutions and best practices that will make access to clean, reliable and sustainably produced energy a reality for everyone. I have had the privilege of seeing this Expo project evolve from the submission of the candidature through until today, and I can tell you that this accomplishment is a credit to President Nazarbayev himself, to the Government of Kazakhstan, and to the Astana Expo 2017 National Company. Furthermore, Expo 2017 Astana will leave behind one of the strongest legacies of any Specialised Expo that has been held to date, namely this incredible site master plan. For those of you who have spent the better part of three months here at the Expo, you will, without a doubt, have noticed the ease by which visitors can find pavilions, the short distances that need to be covered to cross the site and the high level of comfort offered to visitors. It is a legacy that the BIE aims to pursue as a best practice in site planning and design for all future Specialised Expos and for this I would congratulate once more the Expo Organiser. Finally, I would like to take the opportunity to personally thank Chiarman Yessimov and his team for the many years of close cooperation with the BIE and for their never-ending efforts in realising this magnificent event. Moreover, we offer our sincere thanks and gratitude to all those who have contributed to the success of Expo 2017: Commissioner Zhoshybayev, the National Commissioners, their teams, and all the volunteers. Your contributions have been paramount in making this Expo a success. Last but not least, I would like to praise the friendly and welcoming citizens of Astana as well as visitors from all over Kazakhstan and further afield, for making Expo 2017 a tremendous festival of energy. We now look forward to the upcoming World Expo in Dubai, which will open in October 2020, as well as to the next Specialised Expo, whose host country and theme will be elected during the General Assembly in November this year. As always, the BIE remains fully committed to its mission to support organisers and participants of Expos in an endeavour for solidarity and cooperation of the international community. Thank you. Dimitri Kerkentzes Deputy Secretary General of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) .

  • The Formation of Temporary Communities in Anime Fandom: a Story of Bottom-Up Globalization ______
    THE FORMATION OF TEMPORARY COMMUNITIES IN ANIME FANDOM: A STORY OF BOTTOM-UP GLOBALIZATION ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Geography ____________________________________ By Cynthia R. Davis Thesis Committee Approval: Mark Drayse, Department of Geography & the Environment, Chair Jonathan Taylor, Department of Geography & the Environment Zia Salim, Department of Geography & the Environment Summer, 2017 ABSTRACT Japanese animation, commonly referred to as anime, has earned a strong foothold in the American entertainment industry over the last few decades. Anime is known by many to be a more mature option for animation fans since Western animation has typically been sanitized to be “kid-friendly.” This thesis explores how this came to be, by exploring the following questions: (1) What were the differences in the development and perception of the animation industries in Japan and the United States? (2) Why/how did people in the United States take such interest in anime? (3) What is the role of anime conventions within the anime fandom community, both historically and in the present? These questions were answered with a mix of historical research, mapping, and interviews that were conducted in 2015 at Anime Expo, North America’s largest anime convention. This thesis concludes that anime would not have succeeded as it has in the United States without the heavy involvement of domestic animation fans. Fans created networks, clubs, and conventions that allowed for the exchange of information on anime, before Japanese companies started to officially release anime titles for distribution in the United States.

    Kazakhstan Continues Steps to Ease Visa Regime June 16. Paris – The delegation from Kazakhstan took part in the 159th General Assembly of Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) in Paris. Akhmetzhan Yessimov, Chairman of the Board of National Company “Astana EXPO-2017”, and Rapil Zhoshybayev, Commissioner for EXPO-2017, delivered a report on the progress of preparations for the event. "To create favorable conditions for foreign tourists, last year Kazakhstan abolished the visa regime with 20 developed countries. This was done unilaterally. Starting from January 1, 2017, countries with visa- free access will include the OECD members, Malaysia, Monaco, the UAE and Singapore," said Mr. Zhoshybayev in his Paris report. "We also signed an ADS agreement, which will enable Chinese tourists to travel to Kazakhstan in guided groups. The agreement makes it easier for tourist groups from China to obtain visas: applicants will not be required to attend an interview. Starting from July 1, 2016, the first tourist groups from China are expected to arrive," said the Commissioner for EXPO-2017. In his turn, Akhmetzhan Yessimov, Chairman of the Board of National Company Astana EXPO-2017, reported that "the construction of facilities for EXPO-2017 is going according to schedule." "Over 10 thousand people are engaged in the process and 500 units of equipment are being used. The current construction rate allows the completion of works by November 2016. The official participants in the exhibition have already started sending in their themed concepts for decoration of the pavilions," he said. Together with state authorities, the organizers of EXPO-2017 are working hard to ensure that tourists have a comfortable experience during their visit to the exhibition and their stay in Astana.

  • What Remains History and Locations of World Fairs
    WHAT REMAINS HISTORY AND LOCATIONS OF WORLD FAIRS This is a chronological list of exhibitions and fairs held throughout the world that gained international attention. A few regional fairs are included if they were significant to the author or for showcasing emerging technology. This list is a compilation from various sources, trying to respect the capitalization traditions from the countries of origin. When controversy arises about the date or name of a fair (should the 1849 fair held in Birmingham, United Kingdom be referred to as “Exhibition of Industrial Arts and Manufacturers” or “Exposition of British Society”) a choice has been made so the checklist remains an index of fairs. Brown text indicates that the fair occurred before the Bureau international des expositions (BIE) on November 22, 1928 or was not sanctioned by them. Purple text also shows the fair was not sanctioned, but indicates there is a link to additional information researched by the author. Black text indicates a BIE sanctioned fair. Blue text indicates a link to additional information about a sanctioned fair. 1790's 1791 Prague, Bohemia; First Industrial Exhibition 1798 Paris, France; L'Exposition publique des produits de l'industrie française 1800's 1801 Paris, France; L'Exposition publique des produits de l'industrie française (Second Exposition) 1802 Paris, France; L'Exposition publique des produits de l'industrie française (Third Exposition) 1806 Paris, France; L'Exposition publique des produits de l'industrie française (Fourth Exposition) 1810's 1819 Paris,
