Dear fellow members of IFES,
“Expanding Horizons” was our motto at the World Summit in Singapore in 2023 and I truly believe that we have made significant progress in terms of expanding our horizon through collaboration. By collaborating with partner associations such as IAPCO, IAEE and UFI, we are delighted to share exciting developments in our joint efforts – servicing the same client from different perspectives, but with the same goal – making things happen!
In pursuit of expanding opportunities and fostering mutual growth, we are exploring more strategic partnerships with esteemed organizations that fit into our industry’s value chain. These partnerships aim to unlock new possibilities for both our associations and individual members, promoting knowledge-sharing, innovation, and enhanced value for all.
To ensure the success of these partnerships, we encourage you to share your best practices, insights, and experiences. Doing good things and talking about them is what we want to achieve, to increase the value of our community in the events industry. Your contributions will play a vital role in shaping the mutual benefits of these collaborations and strengthening our collective impact.
Together, we can pave the way for stronger connections, enhanced learning, and broader opportunities for all of our IFES members. Thank you for your continued support and input.
Yours truly,
Jörg Zeissig IFES president
