A comprehensive master content plan was developed which all 10 journals would follow, and then individual content plans were populated based on the agendas of each theme week. Explorer's editorial team spent the six months of Expo 2020 attending events and watching back recorded sessions to gain a solid understanding of the complex issues, ideas and topics at hand. Our editors produced academic-level opinion pieces, in-depth articles, profiles and interviews based on the approved content plans, which themselves were adapted as needed to reflect the reality of the discussions, insights and events that took place during each theme week.
