Milan, 16 July 2014. An exclusive Club, dedicated to Commissioners and their teams from Countries attending Expo Milan 2015, has been launched with the purpose of creating a network within which members can share their experiences, discuss common issues and explore solutions. A club of excellence created in Milan that aims to spread worldwide, starting in cities that will host the forthcoming Universal Expos.

These are, in brief, the goals of the World Expo Commissioners Club (acronym WECC), presented in Milan in the presence of Giuliano Pisapia, Mayor of the city of Milan, Piero Fassino, Mayor of the City of Turin, Giuseppe Sala, CEO of Expo 2015 S.p.A. and Commissioner of the Government of Italy for Expo Milano 2015 and a number of founding members.

"I warmly welcome the initiative of the World Expo Commissioners Club and I express my appreciation for the choice of Milan, the city of Expo 2015, as its first venue. I am certain that it will be a place to share and develop the common themes that the World Exposition is offering to the entire world. A place that will live on even after 2015, ensuring that the experience gained in the six months of Expo 2015 will not go wasted but will endure. For the theme “Feed the Planet, Energy for Life” is vital for all of us, and most of all for the future generations"
"I am glad to support the partnership among ANCI - the National Association of Italian Municipalities - and the World Expo Commissioners Club. With Expo 2015, not only Milan, but the entire Country will have a great opportunity of visibility, learning and exchange with the rest of the world on the fundamental topic “Feeding the Planet. Energy for Life.”. The World Expo Commissioners Club is an excellent way of improving all those positive synergies generated by Expo Milano 2015, not only in these intense and exciting months, but especially for the new and even greater challenges that will arise after this experience."
"It is a great honor and pleasure for me to accept the invitation to join the Expo Commissioners Club..."
"What has started as an idea of few enthusiastic individuals has become a strong community that works together to establish a precious help to all countries participating in the EXPO. The World Expo Commissioners Club offers new opportunities and builds partnerships for its international members, as well as shares methods of collaboration and best practices in areas related to the EXPO 2015."
"The World Expo Commissioners Club is a great chance for building relations among Institutions and Companies from all over the world and sharing a multicultural network of innovative business solutions. We are glad to extend the vision of the Club to the future Expo in Dubai."
"I believe that the World Expo Commissioners Club contributes to Expo culture and legacy by offering a unique platform for Expo professionals to share their knowledge and experience. By bringing Expo Commissioners, Deputy Commissioners, BIE Delegates, Pavilion Directors, Diplomats and entrepreneurs together, the WECC also helps the Expo Organizers to connect with potential participants.
Expo 2016 Antalya is proud to be part of a living and growing global Expo community. The WECC will help Expo 2016 Antalya to build on the legacy of EXPO Milan 2015 and to spread our own message of "A Green Life for Future Generations" to future Expos. Thanks to the presence and support of the WECC, our voice will be heard wider and more clearly."

The City of Torino, which I am proud to represent, has decided to fully engage in the great adventure of Expo Milano 2015 by hosting a rich calendar of initiatives and events, with the aim to offer a warm and lively atmosphere to all the visitors that we will have the pleasure to welcome. The possibility to host one of the venues of the World Expo Commissioners Club in Torino would be a further opportunity both for the status that the city is gaining more and more at international level, and to let the Members of the Club feel at home in our beautiful city.
