The Specialised Expo 2027 opens in Belgrade on 15 May 2027 and runs until 15 August under the theme "Play for Humanity: Sport and Music for All". Organisers expect more than four million visits and over 140 international participants. It is the first international exposition held in the Western Balkans.
What's new in November
- Pavilions are unveiling concepts. The United States pavilion announced its theme, "Freedom to Play", linking the Expo's focus on sport and music to American values.
- Tourism offer. In early November EXPO 2027 was presented at WTM London as a gateway to Serbia, with packages pairing the Expo with Novi Sad, Fruška Gora, the Danube Gorge and Golubac Fortress.
- Transport to the site. Since 1 November, city buses have linked the Surčin site with several parts of Belgrade, more than six months before opening.
What teams should settle now
Experience with large events shows the best accommodation and transport are booked months ahead. For teams and delegations coming to the Expo, these decisions belong to the next few weeks:
- accommodation for the whole team across build-up, opening and the busiest weeks;
- daily transport between accommodation and the site, plus airport transfers for delegations;
- local suppliers for printing, catering, interpreting and technical support;
- one on-the-ground contact who speaks the team's language and knows the city.
This is what we do as a local coordinator. See accommodation and transport for EXPO teams or send us your headcount and dates.
