The International Festivals & Events Association (IFEA) is pleased to announce that we have recently partnered with MultiView, Inc., an Irving, Texas, publisher of Digital Buyer's
Guides and E-News Briefs, to launch the all-new IFEA Event Resource Marketplace. IFEA is the first organization in the festivals and events community to provide this powerful online tool for its members, as well as the collective global industry.
About the IFEA Event Resource Marketplace
Always looking for opportunities and tools to bring together industry leaders with the leading suppliers in our industry, the new IFEA Event Resource Marketplace on-line vendor search engine is designed specifically for festival and event professionals looking to maximize both their time and their budgets. Easily accessible from a link on the IFEA Web site home page, (www.ifea.com) the vendor/supplier search enables professionals like you to conveniently perform targeted searches for industry-related products and services using either a user-defined keyword search, or an alphabetized category and sub-category directory search.
Additionally, you may choose to use one or more of our pre-set filters as well. These include the following:
- First, professionals using the site can filter by those suppliers who are IFEA Members and recognized by the association as a trusted source. All current IFEA member suppliers are denoted with an IFEA Member logo next to their listing.
- Second, professionals can filter by those suppliers who are IFEA Sponsors, those who have shown their commitment to our common industry by supporting and helping to make possible many of the professional programs and resources available through the IFEA.All current IFEA sponsors are further recognized with an IFEA Sponsor logo next to their listing.
- Third, professionals can filter by those suppliers who are IFEA Exhibitor's at the annual IFEA Convention & Expo each September. In the initial listings we have recognized vendors from recent years to provide an example of this recognition. Beginning in July of this year, the exhibitor recognition will only apply to those who have secured a booth for the upcoming convention and expo (scheduled this year in Indianapolis, Indiana from September 21-25).
Unlike traditional search engine results that can generate numerous irrelevant results - and slow down your procurement process - the IFEA Event Resource Marketplace is filled with industry-friendly and targeted suppliers and service providers. When fully populated, the IFEA Event Resource Marketplace will be the most complete global resource for products and services in the festivals and events industry.
We feel confident you will find the IFEA Event Resource Marketplace a valuable tool for researching, selecting and purchasing the industry products, services and resources you're looking for. Please take a few minutes to visit this important new searchtool to see how it can work for you.
