3/4/2024
The International Association of Exhibitions and Events® (IAEE) is proud to have teamed with fellow Exhibitions Industry Collective members and leading industry organizations to present the first ever Exhibitions Industry Awareness Week held 20-23 February.

“IAEE is proud to invest in securing the future of exhibitions and events through our efforts to educate and attract potential professionals to our industry,” said IAEE President and CEO Marsha Flanagan, M.Ed., CEM. “Workforce development initiatives such as this are an important element of IAEE’s strategic plan and the collaborative vision shared by the industry’s top organizations.”
