Ensure the future has your name on it

In 2024, Expo will build excitement around sustainable living.... watch this space for taster events and live attractions on the Riverside that explore our future.

In 2025, Sunderland will come alive with the scale of Expo, bringing together the themes of Future Living, Future Home and Future City, serving audiences across business, government, education and consumers.  

From the products and technologies that will shape our future, to the materials and interiors that will build and adapt our homes, the Expo Homes and Gardens, Vaux Neighbourhood low carbon living tours and a Riverside Festival, Expo will cascade the City in the noise and narrative of the Future.

To play a part in Expo please contact Clair Cogdon, Sales & Marketing Manager, who will be delighted to discuss all options and bespoke packages.  From sponsorship, partnerships, branding, exhibitors, speakers, volunteering and much more.
