World Philatelic Exhibitions are international events held under the patronage of the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie. In general, these exhibitions are held at least annually, drawing thousands of stamp collectors and others interested in philately to host cities around the world. A U.S. city is chosen to host the family-oriented event once every decade.
