City dwellers on the other side of the world, living and working in New York, can watch Expo 2020 Dubai’s spectacular Opening Ceremony on 30 September as it unfolds, with the event shown live on the oversized screens of Times Square.

Both the 37-metre-high Nasdaq screen and the Thomson Reuters display, which spans 23 storeys, with seven separate screens, will show the Opening Ceremony for one hour from 2030-2130 GST, which is just after midday in New York. A global live stream of the event is being made available by Expo organisers.
