Expo 2017 is an International Exposition scheduled to take place in
2017 in Astana), Kazakhstan. On 1 July 2010, during the 147th session of the General Assembly of member
countries of the BIE, held at their headquarters in Paris, Kazakhstan announced its intention to participate in the bidding process to host
the International Specialized Exhibition at Astana in 2017 through Rapil Jochibayev, head of project coordination., hence giving cities
with counter-bids six months to respond. On November 22, 2012, Astana was chosen by the International Exhibitions Bureau (BIE) as the venue

The flag is a horizontal white flag with the logo in the
middle as seen here (fourth flag from left to
right).

There's the three-leafy thingy, which also appears on flags. Is that an Expo
2017 symbol as well?
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 22 January 2016
Well, the
three-leaf thing is also considered an official logo, since it appears on
the official website. I believe that
the company running the event, “National company “Astana EXPO-2017” (joint stock
company) has it as its corporate identity, while the flag (already posted in
another thread) is the event's flag.
For example, the official event logo is seen here in this official video of the
bid, titled "EXPO 2017 Astana: Master
Plan". At 2:48 you can see the logo which is featured on the flag.
