IFES is pleased to welcome Luisa to the team as Membership Manager. Luisa brings more than 20 years of professional experience, beginning her career in the exhibition and event industry with Koelnmesse in Cologne before moving into the tourism, sports and gaming sectors, with roles in Sicily, Amsterdam and Malta.

Across these diverse industries and locations, one thread has remained constant: her experience in multicultural environments and her passion for bringing people, ideas and projects together. This makes her a natural fit for IFES, where international collaboration and trusted connections sit at the heart of everything we do.

“Returning to the exhibition and event world feels like a dream come true,” says Luisa. “I am very much looking forward to meeting our valued members at upcoming events, learning from this global community and helping to create connections that lead to meaningful outcomes.”

In her new role, Luisa will support and engage with IFES’ global membership community, helping to strengthen relationships across countries, cultures and sectors. Her curiosity, openness and commitment to meaningful connection will be a valuable addition to the IFES network.

Please join us in giving Luisa a very warm welcome. We look forward to introducing her to our members at upcoming IFES events.
