The Board of Directors of UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, has elected RX CEO Hugh Jones to serve as UFI’s president for the term spanning 2024- 2025, and he will assume the leading volunteer role at the 91^st UFI Global Congress in Cologne, Germany, in November 2024. 

“It is an absolute honor to have been nominated and elected by my peers to this role,” Jones told TSNN. “UFI sets the tone and the standards for all of us; fundamentally, UFI reminds us that together we are stronger. RX has similar issues to many in the industry as we navigate a post-COVID world, and I hope to use my experience at RX as a helpful background to engage with the broad UFI community.”

He continued, “As an industry, we’re back to a pre-COVID face-to-face environment in which we need to deliver increased customer value all along our value chain. I am so very proud to represent and give my time to the wider industry as we collectively execute on that opportunity.”
