	Bureau of International Expositions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Bureau of International Expositions (or Bureau International des Expositions) is the organization responsible for sanctioning World's fairs.
		It is based in Paris, France and was established as an international convention in 1928.
		And another little know fact is that Seattle Century 21 Exposition 1962 was actually a "universal" exposition (General Exposition 2nd category) in the same category as Paris 1937 and 1939 New York World's Fair (at both of which countries should not have been allowed to build their own pavilions).

	World's Fair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BIE has moved to sanction expos only every 5 years, starting with the 21st century; with the 1980s and 1990s overflowing with expos back to back, some see this as a means to cut down potential expenditure by participating nations.
		International expositions are usually united by a common theme—such as Transportation (Vancouver Expo '86) or 'Leisure in the Age of Technology' (Brisbane Expo '88).
		Specialized and international expositions are usually smaller in scale and cheaper to run for the host committee and participating nations because the architectural fees are lower and they only have to rent the space from the host committee, usually with the pre-fabricated structure already completed.

		The first great international exposition was held in London in 1851 under the direction of the Society of Arts; Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, was at the time president of the society and took a personal interest in the preparation of the event.
		Most great expositions operated at deficits from that time on, but the promotion value of the displays and the value of the tourist trade brought by the events were considered worth the loss, which was usually made up by national and municipal government subsidies or by bond issues.
		In 1923 the International Bureau of Expositions was established in Paris to control the frequency and supervise the operations of international exhibitions.
