The IFES network counts more than 350 national associations and registered members across 47 countries, a footprint that shapes the professional mix at the coming summit. Ifes World Summit 2027 takes place from 15 to 18 June at Lake Garda, Italy, and targets marketing, sales and investor professionals linked to exhibition services.
What the summit gathers in Garda
IFES brings together national associations and companies that provide design, production and services for exhibitions. The World Summit 2027 builds on that membership to host discussions on governance, talent development and sustainability for the sector. IFES also lists masterclasses and practical sessions as part of its events program.
Attendee profile and prospecting opportunities
The summit is aimed at exhibition service providers, organizers and commercial leads seeking international partnerships. Ifes World Summit 2027 features participants from production houses, technical suppliers, sustainability consultancies and venue managers. For B2B prospecting, focus on national delegations and the federation’s committees as a shortcut to relevant decision makers.
Practical steps to prepare prospecting at the summit
-
Pre-select contacts. Filter attendees by committee and service type, prioritizing production, digital solutions and sustainability. The IFES network spans 47 countries, so a targeted approach saves time.
-
Tailor your value proposition. Prepare two concise offers: one on technical delivery and another on sustainability or compliance. IFES places emphasis on environmental resources and initiatives.
-
Deliverables for meetings. Bring a compact dossier with project cases, logistical capacity and a one-page collaboration proposal for quick sharing and follow up.
-
Leverage training sessions. Attend masterclasses to position your team in front of decision makers and create natural entry points for commercial discussions.
Logistics and resources
The summit runs at Lake Garda from 15 to 18 June. IFES publishes resources on committees, sponsorship opportunities and training that are useful to review before arrival. Their newsroom and events archive help identify active members and recent projects relevant to collaboration.
