Emphasis on Hosting an Exhibition Worthy of This National Art

Participants in the meeting emphasized the need for maximum participation of handmade carpet art-industry activists and called for organizing a cohesive event befitting the high status of this national art-industry on the international stage.

Special Facilities and Extended Payment Deadline for Exhibitors

In another part of the session and in support of industry activists, it was decided that, following continuous efforts by the National Carpet Center and approval by the Board of Directors of the International Exhibitions Company of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the following facilities would be implemented:

Special discounts for "raw land" (unequipped booth spaces)

Extension of the payment deadline for the full amount for applicants who have not paid 50% of their booth fees by the original deadline, until August 18, 2026 (28 Mordad)

Obtaining a commitment from the International Exhibitions Company of I.R. Iran regarding extending the daily operating hours of the exhibition to maximize efficiency and better accommodate visitors

These measures are seen as steps toward facilitating a more robust presence of handmade carpet producers and exporters at this major international event.
