From 15 May to 15 August, 2027, the world will gather in Belgrade, Serbia for one of the most exciting global events of the decade: Specialised EXPO 2027. For 93 unforgettable days, the Serbian capital will transform into a vibrant stage upon which knowledge, innovation, creativity, music and sport meet and inspire.

EXPO 2027 will be far more than an exhibition. With more than 120 countries participating and over 8,000 events taking place in one extraordinary location, it will be a global playground of ideas and experiences. Nations from every continent are expected to come together to showcase the cutting-edge technologies, pioneering solutions and visionary ideas that will shape the future. At the same time, visitors can enjoy a programme of discovery and entertainment, from concerts and performances to sporting events, captivating talks, hands-on workshops and immersive exhibitions, all designed to spark curiosity and stimulate collaboration.

Fun for the Future

EXPO 2027 Belgrade is built around the compelling theme “Play for Humanity”, celebrating play as one of the most essential forces powering society – a driver of progress, creativity and connection. Play is how we learn, how we build relationships, how we solve problems, and how we imagine better futures. During EXPO 2027, play will take centre stage as a unifying language that transcends borders and brings people together.

Visitors can explore the many forms and facets of the theme at the expo’s four main hubs, such as the Power of Play pavilion, which will examine the science of play and its impact on learning and human development, offering sensory experiences, interactive exhibits and experiments in technology, science and art. The Play for Progress Pavilion will focus on innovations that evolved through play, presenting experiments in motion, sound and creativity, and telling the stories of the great scientists, inventors and thinkers for whom playful exploration led to history-defining discoveries and achievements. 

At the Play Together Pavilion, visitors of all ages can form connections through musical experiences, sporting activities and cooperative teamwork in co-creative spaces that allow them to build things together and collaborate. Finally, The Forum will be a space for discussion, debate and exchange, providing a platform for talks, panels and interactive workshops, in addition to networking opportunities for thought leaders and changemakers. 

Whether you’re an innovator seeking inspiration, a student eager to learn, a family looking for unforgettable experiences, or a business ready to connect with global partners, EXPO 2027 will offer something for you.

Join EXPO 2027 Belgrade, and become part of a once-in-a-lifetime celebration where nations unite, ideas flourish, and humanity plays for a more promising tomorrow.
