Hybrid Exhibitions and Sustainability
The exhibition industry has been on a transformative journey. Traditionally, physical gatherings were the norm. However, the industry swiftly adapted to the evolving landscape influenced by technology and global events. According to Anjum, today’s emphasis is on virtual or hybrid exhibitions, offering not only greater flexibility but also extended reach. “Event planners now prioritize data-driven insights, elevated attendee engagement, and a strong commitment to sustainability practices,” he points.
In addition, Universal Xhibit’s commitment to social responsibility goes beyond its core services. It actively collaborates with various industry associations such as the Event and Entertainment Management Association (EEMA), Indian Exhibitions, Conferences and Events Services Association (IESA), Telangana Chamber of Events Industry (TCEI), Indian Exhibition Industry Association (IEIA) and many more to integrate initiatives like Flood Relief and the construction of COVID-19 Hospitals. “This integration is a testament to our dedication to being a socially responsible entity, contributing positively to the communities we serve,” asserts Anjum.

Overcoming Challenges
The events handled by the event management company come in various shapes and sizes, some with very short lead times, presenting unique challenges. “However, we thrive on these challenges, viewing them as opportunities for innovation and quick adaptation,” explains Anjum. “By combining agility, creativity, and meticulous planning, we've consistently overcome challenges to ensure the success of diverse events.”
Post-event surveys are integral to Universal Xhibit’s strategy, as it provides valuable insights into the success and areas for improvement. “Analyzing feedback, whether positive or constructive, is pivotal in refining our strategies, enhancing attendee experiences, and ensuring that our future events surpass expectations,” shares Anjum.
Furthermore, collaboration is at the heart of every event management company’s success. By working closely with diverse teams, agencies, and partner organizations, they can leverage a wealth of expertise and resources. “This collaborative approach significantly enhances communication, flexibility, productivity, and learning potential. The result is a more engaged and responsive team, ultimately translating into better outcomes for our clients,” he explains.
Advice for Aspiring Professionals
For those entering the event and exhibition industry, Anjum recommends prioritizing education in the field. Specialized courses or certifications like Certified in Exhibition Management (CEM) can be beneficial. “Actively participating in local events provides a firsthand understanding of the industry, and applying to event management companies offers practical experience,” suggests Anjum. “This multifaceted approach is key to building a strong foundation in this dynamic industry.”
