Join Us for the First-Ever
The global COVID-19 pandemic brought us face-to-face with challenges that we had never imagined or prepared for…as a world and as an industry. It changed our world, our events, and our organizations, forever, but it made it crystal clear that the future is ours to shape.
What will our events, organizations and communities look like? How will we prepare for and protect ourselves from future pandemic-level challenges? What new programs, approaches, relationships, and creativity will grow out of the passing pandemic storm?
In these unique times, the power of and need for the combined, creative IFEA global professional network has never been more important.

If you are a top-level festival and event industry-related leader, we invite you to join us for the first-ever ‘IFEA Leadership 100 Retreat'. 100 leaders…coming together after an unimaginable pandemic, in the intimate, creativity-conducive environment provided by West Virginia’s Oglebay National Training Center and Resort, to imagine and shape the future.

2021 IFEA Convention,
Expo & Retreat Announcement
Through surveys to access the current realities for our members and industry; communications with other allied partners; the reality/impact of many postponed 2021 events moving to the later quarters of the year; and many other factors, we have made the difficult decision not to hold our annual IFEA Convention, Expo & Retreat presented by Haas & Wilkerson Insurance and our 2021 Awards Programs, with an eye on protecting the overall health and sustainability of our own organization, as well as all those in our global industry.
