New: IFES Award at EuroShop
IFES has grown out of the country associations of exhibition construction, so it is logical that the new IDIA Award has a focus on the production process category.
A new award will be presented at EuroShop from February 16 - 20, 2020 in Düsseldorf: The IFES Innovation + Development Award (IDIA) commends exceptional developments for the exhibition and event industry. The focus is on special materials, exceptional production processes and innovative services. The award is presented in four categories: Products, Services, Production Processes and "Out of the Box" Ideas.
"With the IDIA Award, we honor innovations and developments that represent milestones in the trade fair and event business," explains Torsten Heinze, IFES Board Member for Strategy (pictured above). "They should be innovations and further developments - from a design, sustainability and efficiency point of view," says the vice president of the International Federation of Exhibition & Event Services (IFES). "In this way, they help live communications to become that little bit better in terms of conception and implementation."
The IDIA Award aims to drive developments and publicize existing innovations from other industries. Furthermore, there is a global claim and it is about the idea of "Sharing Knowledge", which IFES has strongly advocated since its foundation. "At the same time, with the award we are meeting a demand from our members," emphasizes Uta Goretzky (pictured above). To keep the threshold for participation in the IDIA Award as low as possible, there is a very low participation fee - it starts at 50 EUR. The deadline for submissions is November 11, 2019, and nominees and award winners will be informed as early as December.
