Dive into a night of nostalgia and desert glam on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025, as we celebrate the IFEA's 70th anniversary with the IFEA Foundation Platinum Palms Pool Party!
Set against the backdrop of swaying palms, glistening waters, and mid-century modern flair, this newly formatted event blends classic Palm Springs cool with the radiant energy of the global festivals and events community to create a fun and festive night that helps sustain IFEA programs and services and keeps them accessible to all.
Slip into your chic resort wear and join us poolside along the lazy river at the Omni Las Palmas Resorts 'Splashtopia' waterpark for an informal evening of food, fun, music and more! Grab a signature anniversary cocktail, network with friends -- old and new, enjoy some savory bites, kick back in a lounge chair under the stars, participate in a variety of Foundation games and activities, and enjoy a perfect celebration of the legacy that we have built together - and the brilliant future ahead.
Leading into the event and throughout the night, be sure to bid in our online auction on an exciting array of fun and relaxing getaways; unique and practical gifts for yourself, family and friends; or perhaps a must-have product or services that helps your festival/event.
Helping us to close out this special night, our friends at
SKY ELEMENTS DRONE SHOWS will treat everyone to a special IFEA 70th Anniversary drone show, as we toast to the future!
(Please be sure to visit their Expo booth to thank them and learn how you might work with them for your own events).
Dress Code: Resort glam -- think flowy fabrics, flowery shirts, and poolside sophistication.
Best of all, the IFEA Foundation Night Platinum Palms Pool Party is included at no extra charge as a part of your convention registration! So, mark your calendar now and plan to be there for this special evening!
A special thank you to our friends at
