“As is our confidence, so is our capacity.”

In a world that is changing around us daily, from every angle – creatively, operationally, economically, politically, socially, culturally, legally, and professionally – those whose success mirrors their commitment, are those who are confident in their own skills, knowledge, experience, awareness, and innovation. Those whose staffs, boards, partners, vendors, service providers and volunteers are equally confident and continue to invest in themselves, their teams, and the strengthening of a professional network will have the knowledge to see them through the challenges and help them to identify new opportunities. We encourage you to mark your calendars and get ready to join your professional peers from around the world for the 62nd Annual IFEA’s Convention, Expo & Retreat, presented by Haas & Wilkerson Insurance this September 14th-16th, 2017* in Tucson, Arizona, U.S.A.

‘The Premier Association Supporting and Enabling Festival & Event Professionals Worldwide,’ the IFEA Annual Convention, Expo & Retreat is the top educational and networking event in our industry. Plan now to join industry leading professionals from around the globe – events, cities, sponsors, media, tourism agencies, suppliers and more – for this unparalleled opportunity to grow your confidence at every level. We look forward to seeing you there!
