Future Convention Sites
Responding to industry and attendee surveys, the IFEA is currently working to negotiate future convention locations that will provide more cost-effective lodging, travel and ground transportation alternatives for attendees, increasing access and encouraging participation by a greater number of industry professionals, volunteers, board members and others. We are also working to control the growing costs of convention facilities, meals and support functions, so as to allow us to avoid raising registration fees while directing more funding toward programming and speaker resources that will allow us to continue providing the highest quality, value and return-on-investment possible. As "The Premiere Association Supporting and Enabling Festival & Event Professionals Worldwide", this is the IFEA's commitment to you.
Our annual convention dates, for the foreseeable future, will continue to fall during the month of September, between the end of the busy summer festival season and the beginning of the year-end holiday event, parade and Bowl Game season.
We will be announcing tentative plans for the coming three to five years prior to this year's convention in Atlanta, Georgia, September 17th-21st at the Omni CNN Center Hotel.
