Welcome to Celebrate 88 - the world-wide-web's
one-stop encyclopedia to the 1988 World Exposition -
Brisbane's own World Expo 88 - and a portal to
Australia at past, present, and future World
Expositions.
With the end of Expo 2020 Dubai and its rebirth as
Expo City Dubai, our attention is drawn further
afield to this year's World Expo in Osaka, Japan,
with the theme "Designing Future Society for Our
Lives", with pavilions from over 160 countries and
regions as well as nine international
organisations.
I am proud to announce that Australia will have a
unique and robust Pavilion with our northern
neighbour, highlighting the harmony and heritage of
Australia's first nations peoples and later arrivals
with the theme "Chasing the Sun."
And as the 37th anniversary of Expo 88 approaches,
we look further afield to the 40th anniversary of
World Expo 88 in 2028 - just 3 years from now.
In other news, the Expo 88 Facebook group continues
to grow (now over 4,000 members), who share their
love of Brisbane's Expo through its many popular
postings of pins found, memorabilia and mascots -
largely due to the creative credit of collaborators
and colleagues Jason Ford and Peter Rasey.
Wherever you may be in the world, we hope you enjoy
your visit to celebrate88.com and revisit or visit
for the first time World Expo 88 online, and join in
our vibrant online community at http://facebook.com/groups/expo88/
"Together, we'll show the world."
Stay safe, keep well and keep active.
With warm and cordial Queensland regards,
John
