IFEA 71st Annual Convention & Expo

IFEA convention attendees have a unique opportunity to share "common ground” with professional peers while discussing current trends and issues during our popular "Affinity Group” Sessions, which many of you have been participating in virtually throughout the year. Now come meet your professional friends in person! Bring your questions and input to these valuable open-topic exchange sessions and let the conversation begin. Each Affinity Group has been assigned a Moderator(s) to help keep the discussions flowing smoothly.

Events are more than a gathering—they are powerful economic and community development tools. This session explores how festivals, street fairs, cultural events, and community activations can drive local business growth, attract visitors, generate economic impact, and create meaningful connections between residents, businesses, and organizations.

Valued IFEA partner Sky Elements will be presenting a special drone show on Tuesday evening, October 6th, as a cap to the IFEA Foundation’s “Two-Step Under Western Skies” Party & Auction. Prior to that, they will be doing a ‘Backstage Pass’ session, with a visit to their onsite launch site, for an inside look at the creation of the show. A session sure to spark your imagination and creativity. (Stop by their Expo booth on Tuesday and Wednesday to thank them for the show, and to see how you might use their expertise and services.)
