expo
Big public showcase
Expo is short for exposition, meaning a large public exhibition or trade show: the world expo, a home and garden expo.
The informal clipping has largely replaced the fuller form in everyday speech.
Expos showcase products, industries, or innovations, typically running for several days and drawing crowds from various regions.
