We had the opportunity to work with Gökhan AKBULUT and his team from SEDEFGRUP on a custom booth for a congress in Istanbul. We had a lot of fun working before the set up on various design and manufacturing steps of the booth.
We would like to congratulate the team on the high quality of the finished product. We look forward to working together again, as the IFES network is an great opportunity for Galis to strengthen our CSR commitments through collective, well thought-out work all around the world

GO Exhibitions is proud to receive an iF Design Award 2024. This is the eighth award we received this year.
And theTeva-API project, which we realized with IFES partner Kadmon Brin, great design by Neta Shoham, was honoured for four of those awards; IDIA Awards/IFES, Iconic Awards, German Design Awards and now IF Design Awards…
Considering all sustainability efforts, collaboration is inevitable. Our globe is turning faster than before and it keeps getting faster and brings many challenges we can overcome with international collaboration. Collaboration means more than working together towards a common goal. For us, it is also friendships and partnerships full of trust, respect and, last but not least, success. Winning four awards for the “out of the box” project for Teva-API, shows how valuable this collaboration can be.
Together with our strong IFES partners, we look forward to new challenges and moving into the future together.

These efforts range from fully customized designs to innovative solutions using Be Matrix systems, highlighting our commitment to versatility and excellence.

When Vision took on the role of official exhibition contractor for WoCoVa 2024 in Prague, we brought Z3 on board for because we felt that their extensive experience working in the region and their understanding of the venue and its exacting standards would be beneficial in realising the scope of this project.
Aside from the obvious benefits Z3 brought to the mix like local know-how, common delivery standards and assistance in overcoming language barriers, working with a trusted partner made sure that we were able to deliver a well-planned and organised job with a smile.
“Trust is definitely the core for a successful collaboration. Competitors first, then, thanks to IFES, Vision and Z3 became partners and finally friends.
Sometimes, we forget that collaboration can help us find successful ways to deliver even the most complex projects”.

It was so wonderful to work with our Japan and US-based IFES -Sharing Knowledge partners Christopher Dorn and Kimberly Beland from Idea International Inc. to create the Cognitive Surplus exhibition stand for the AGHA Gift Fair in February 2024 in Sydney, Australia.
Idea International Inc’s utilisation of our company, Euro Displays Pty Limited, a fellow local member to complete the exhibition stand instead of freighting an existing stand in, and flying staff in from Japan or the USA, epitomises the connection IFES members have, the reliability of the IFES network and the economic benefits attainable when members share knowledge and expertise.
It was a seamless and positive experience for all involved, from the initial brief I received from Chris to the handing over to the client at the show. The environmentally sustainable outcomes from the IFES partnership directly assisted the client whilst making a difference to sustainability on a global scale.

No other platform in the world gives companies in our industry as many new opportunities to meet the demands of our customers as this amazing association.
We offer projects in faraway countries and realize them with the help of other members. At the same time, we are more sustainable than sending our own material to the trade fair locations.
If we need support on site: an IFES member always helps!
An indispensable tool for Czarnowski and our global customers.

South African-based exhibition and events company, Scan Display, recently outsourced the building of an exhibition stand for its client, African financial services provider, ABSA Corporate and Investment Bank, to a fellow IFES member. The stand was built by CVS Creative Visual Solutions for Sibos 2023 at Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC).
Scan Display’s Managing Director, Justin Hawes, says that the client was very happy with the stand: “It was a pleasure to work with CVS and we felt confident, knowing that the stand would be beautifully built and completed on time for our client. When we partner with our IFES colleagues on projects abroad, we know that they are reliable and will do a good job.”

I had the opportunity to work with IFES member Swift Corporation for a 130sqm custom made booth at the Delhi Book Fair in February 2023. It was a very nice experience; I had a qualitative contact with Sanjay and his team for the building of the booth. The challenge was to choose a local partner to support the short circuit and local jobs. Thanks a lot for your work and assistance I would love to come back again !

I had a last minute stand request from a client for IAA Transportation Expo in Hanover, which included supply of carpet, build of back wall with storage and hanging sign, which I needed assistance with. Less than a minute after putting my request out to the IFES global network, my colleague Philippe Beille offered support and a few hours and phone calls later, we had a solution.
Less than two weeks later, when IAA opened its doors to the press, our client had a shiny new stand to work at. Thank you so much to Philippe and your team.
“It was our pleasure to assist and happy to hear that your client is happy with what was delivered. The more we collaborate, the stronger we are. Viva IFES!”
