Hi

The event its organized by a nonprofit organization, and although the topic of the event is nation branding and it aim to promote countries and their businesses. There is no "commercial offering" on the event whatsoever, is free and open to anyone, this is stated in the webpage. It could not be classified as advertising, according to the wikipedia description either"...to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering".

Thanks

Speedy Delete per G-11. This is unambiguous promotion. The lack of "commercial offering" is neither here nor there. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:56, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
