IFEA Hall of Fame
Honoring Achievement in our Industry 

Great people, great careers and the ability to look past what's "good enough" and focus on making everything "better than it has to be" - that is the spirit behind the IFEA Hall of Fame.

Known as the association's most prestigious honor, the IFEA Hall of Fame recognizes those outstanding individuals who, through their exceptional work and achievements, have made a significant contribution to the Festivals and Events Industry and a profound difference in the communities they serve.

Induction into the Hall of Fame is considered the highest of industry honors. Selected from a group of their industry-peers, inductees join the prestigious ranks of 46 others inducted into the hall over the past 16 years.

Past inductees include

• Dan Mangeot, CFEE (D), Kentucky Derby Festival (1992)
• George Zambelli (D), Zambelli Fireworks (1993)
• John H.B. "Jack" French, Pasadena Tournament of Roses (1996)
• Jean McFaddin, Macy*s Parade and Events (1999)
