Winds of Change

2019 was a year in which we were able to reach out to each other more, interchange more projects among our fellow members and most importantly, remain devoted and passionate on what we do daily. Masterclass 2019 was held in Rotterdam in December and it was a total success with attendees coming from all over the world.

YIFES w as launched this year, and the “millennial generation” is ready to make the necessary steps to continue the passion we have all so hard worked on and made possible all these year s.

New challenges lay ahead of us as a community this new decade, and together, we are confident that we will be able to surpass any ob stacles we may encounter.

The year will commence with EuroShop in February, where IFES no t only will have one of the largest booth spaces in the fair, but will be able to present to our industry the winner s of the IDIA Award and show wh y we remain the most prominent and largest association within our market.

A few week s later, we will attend EXHIBITOR LIVE in Las Vegas, where together, we shall meet and encounter the new trends the next few year s will dominate the global exhibition sector.

Our World Summit will take place in the vibr ant city of Ams terdam, where from inspiration, we shall discover the “Winds of Change”, and wha t we shall expect to confront the next few year s.

Our collaboration with the National A ssociations members of IFE S will continue to grow, and altogether we will be able to share more information to all of you.

The year could not end withou t our attendance at EXPO 2020 in Dubai, where we shall reach out to make our visits to the v arious pavilions a unique experience.

We are curious about the things to come!

THE IFES BOARD

What a year

The new decade starts for IFES with two major Shows –EuroShop and EXHIBITOR LIVE !

Nobody knows if we will have roaring twenties again, like in the last century, but the omens are favourable.

For sure the upcoming year s will be challenging. Sustainability, Digital Disruption, Gen X,Y,Z, Globalization – just to name some of the buzz-words. For sure the whole industry is expecting some Winds of Change.

In this times it is good that there is a partner who goes one step further, who points a direction, who explains the c onnections in excited times. IFES is such a partner: Together with all its members the association is collecting inf ormation, analyses them, asks for some advise from ou tside and points a direction. So its members are one step ahead when taking their decisions.

We wish you a joyful read and hope to meet you in per son real soon. UTA

IFES Board on:

Wha t is the biggest challenge in the upc

oming decade?

Different countries, different people, different expectations: A ll IFES Board members give there own perspective on the ques tion: Wha t is the biggest challenge in the upcoming decade. The answers are exciting and diverse, just like our indus try:

Peter Theodorides President

R abindranath Tagore, the first non-E uropean to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, once said “Inspir ation follows Aspiration” and with this motivating quote, I would like to share with all of you wha t my aspirations for the new decade ahead of us are.

Being over a decade with IFES now, and having gone through the channels of Marketing and PR Committee Chair as well as Member ship Committee Chair to finally reach the Presidency, has all owed me to understand how t o actively contribute with all the world, the true v alue of this associa tion.

With this in mind, my dream of executing and being able to c ontinue “sharing knowledge” w as made possible for those that t ook part in the successful IFES World Summit in Athens, Greece, “The Summit of Inspiration”.

Based on the above, I will c ontinue “inspiring” and looking in to new challenges by “aspiring” in making even more success ful projects the year s to c ome.

With major issues within our indus try such as new methodologies in logistics for the services we provide, sustainability playing a major role and how we can all contribute in this factor, and more importan tly, the ability to keep the human factor “alive” in order to avoid losing touch with one another, I aim to continue passionately and with more per severance, make this association even bigger and stronger by under standing and providing vital information to all of you.

The obstacles and challenges ahead of us can only be surpassed by comprehending our peer s and the developments in our market, which is wh y I plan to c ontinue having open communication and mutual respect for our partners worldwide.

No challenge will be easy, and e ven more, no goal will be met withou t a struggle, but just as I have worked and all these year s t ogether with all of you, I can only contemplate that we shall make this new decade an even more commendable one.

Voicu Sferdianu Past President

To my opinion the toughest challenge of this decade will be manpower. Attracting and re taining talen ts, both on the fl oor and in the office. Finding the right incen tive for new generations to turn to the exhibition industry and ge t “the fever”.

drive for change will escalate. O ur planet is on fire and the realisa tion that we have limited resources is fast sinking in. We are a very adaptable industry and I believe we can work t ogether to make exhibitions much more resource-efficient.

Justin Hawes Vice President Finance/ Treasurer

The exhibition industry is a huge w aster of resources. People fly in from far away to visit expos, they a ttend shows in venues that are massive consumers of energy, and they stay in venues that keep all the lights on day and nigh t. There is always more food ca tered for than is needed, and exhibition stands are often designed and built for a single applica tion. A ll of these factors make our industry very w asteful.

I believe in the next decade our industry’s ability to offer sus tainable solutions will be seriously questioned, and the

John Pavek

Vice President Marketing & Membership

It’s really really tough to pick just one. This new decade will again be a decade of tremendous change. Political instability, climate change, population migrations and technology will all significantly affect global business. Adapting to change will be the biggest challenge. Perhaps the one we have most control over is how we embrace and adopt new technology.

Over the last decade we’ve seen the emergence of tremendous technological innovation that has fundamentally redefined indus tries and businesses and altered the way we live and work. The rapid introduction and application of this wave of new technol ogy is going to accelerate in the next ten year s. Forward-thinking businesses and indus tries that keep abreast of new developments and trends will be the winner s. A lmost every business needs to now think of itsel f as a digital enterprise.

Torsten Heinze Vice President Strategy

Over the last century, our indus try has evolved and expanded into a professional service that is able to deliver, at an y time and any place in the world, solid and functional booth c onstruction. However, within the same period, we have only de veloped technologies and ma terials to achieve this demand, which w as marked by the ques tions “doable?” to “priceworthy?”. Thusly, up to the presen t day, we have followed clien t-driven requests withou t ques tioning wha t the impact of our collective project(s) is on our en vironment. Only in just the last t wo decades have we started implemen ting within our products and certifications services tha t allow us look a little more “green” beyond wha t we can readily admit. This mission is no t yet completed: instead of squee zing prices, we need a chip to bargain with in order to nego tiate a less impactful CO 2 emission than over cost-savings. CO 2 has become a trading good in other industries, which already carries a “value”, and the trade show industry has the knowledge and common power to de velop such a system; hand in hand with organizers, venues, supplier s, and stand builders.

The other change we will see

Carbon footprint by emails

A standard email: 4 g CO 2

An email with “long and tiresome attachments”: 50 g CO 2

It is estimated that the average office worker receives 121 emails per day and that half of these will be spam.*

Based on my own emails, the remaining half is almost equally c omprised of those with and withou t attachments (those with a ttachments predominantly have more than one). So…

60.5 spam emails x 0.3 g CO 2 = 18.5 g CO 2

30.25 standard emails x 4 g CO 2 = 121 g CO 2

30.25 emails with attachments x 50 g CO 2 = 1512.5 g CO 2

This means that a day’s worth of emails received is equal t o 1,652 g CO 2

And that one year’s worth of emails received equals 603,393 g CO 2 = 0.593863329 or 0.6 tons CO 2

To put this into perspective, the total yearly carbon footprint of the average person living in India is approx. 1.5 tons CO 2 .*

These are current figures which consider the v arious sources of energy, and they will certainly improve over the next decade, but it will not be reduced anywhere near 50% by the end.

The key to finding a solution in avoiding CO 2 emission is by employing local resources (IFES is a perfect tool for this), re-using constructions and materials, and by smart design c oncepts – hopefully with the support and commitment of tho se who need the exhibits: our clients. By the w ay, have you ever heard of NEON Core R3? Maybe we’ll have a digital t win soon to help us in achieving our mission quicker than we thought.

over the next few year s is the impact of digitalization incorporated into the live experience and around events. We already can feel and see the changes in our per sonal lives, and we use these new technologies for our projects. The next level that is hit ting our industry will support our logistics, will help to automat-

ically construct and measure, and will bring our communications into a new dimension. While we are all so focused on our carbon emission, we should not forget that even digital tools create a carbon footprint by their sole use apart from just the physical production of the hardware.

S upplier and service commoditisation – Gradual commoditisation of partnerships with a fix ation on price over service and rela tionship between clients and supplier s. A race to the bottom in some areas of the supply chain that in some cases is opening the door for poor quality and lower operating standards.

S ustainability – In more de veloped economies, this is an area that if not already will rival qualit y, design and H&S standards/requirements as a clear benchmark for successful tendering and how as a sector will we respond when every indus try seems to be behind the curve of a client’s expectation.

world provides us today. The demand for the exhibitions is still going strong, maybe not as much as a platform for presenting products or telling about novelties, but as building your ne twork and connecting with people. We have had a natural need to get to know our clients in the real life, to build trust in the business relationships.

The question I have is, wha t is the status for exhibitions when the next generation, generation Z, will be actually the ones c oming to the shows in this decade ?

As the generation Z has access to social media platforms, web site builders, 3D printers, and drop shipping platforms which provides them with additional opportunities to start a business at a young age. The internet has provided a store front for Generation Z to sell their ideas to people around the world withou t ever leaving their house. This is a fact that will also influence our conventional marketing media. These young people are grown to communicate and build trust be tween each other online, like none of us before.

Cam Stevens Board Member Education

There are many far more significan t issues facing us gl obally in today’s world such as the environment, the consumption of natural resources, rapid growth in population, poverty, as well as many geopolitical circums tances that far outweigh tr ade show challenges. However, from a trade show perspective, my feeling is that one of the bigger challenges we will face in the new decade is engagement and relevancy with the generation entering the workforce t oday. Young people today do more research/shopping on their mobile devices on the products or services they seek and are not a ttending trade shows and e vents as much as previous gener ations have.

Ninni Arion Board Member Young IFES

I have been thinking how our indus try, in general, will develope in the future. Generations up till millenials have prefered f ace to face meetings despite the digital opportunities our

Will their companies marketing mix need exhibitions as our generations businesses do? What is the distruptive digital solution that will change our industry and when this change will happen? What I am afraid of is, that the change will be very fast. Are we read y for that?

This seems to be more pre valent with consumer shows than trade shows. Budgets are being frozen or reduced in order t o make room for searching out o ther methods to reach the c onsumer. Wha t is interesting is tha t those young people that do bec ome engaged with trade shows realize the v alue in face to f ace engagement, but it’s some thing that they have to experience before they can really see the potential.

Andrew Harrison Board Member Associations

Trade shows have been around since earlier than the silk road trade routes. Tr ade shows are still strong, and in my opinion will continue to be relevant. However, exhibits must now be more customer-centric, mul ti-sensory experiences that take advantage of “considered” technol ogy (not technology for the sake of technology) in order t o engage with the next generation audience. We, as promoters o f face-to-face marketing, will need to ensure that we determine w ays to continue to engage this particular audience and ensure that we stay relevant to their w ay of absorbing knowledge and making their buying choices.

To offer the best experience t o exhibitors and visit ors.

To crea te a world o f exhibitions and business meetings more rewarding, profitable, always more magical and appealing.

But sustainable development can also become a fantastic opportunit y for all of us.

Together, we can change our w ays to do our job, our w ays to work, our w ays to meet.

Philippe Beille Board Member Sustainability

“Happiness

And above all for a more e thical world, that also has a meaning in our society, consistent over time.

So, it’s also essential to do things in good faith.

To perpetuate, and keep alive our trade (profession) that makes people meet on the exhibitions.

Do things properly, with respect for the environment, f or the social role of work.

This, we have all understood; so this new decade bears the hope of a better world.

To take into account the great challenge that concerns us all: sus tainability.

Sustainable development is certainly the greatest threat to our industry: We will change or we will decline.

What is y our goal?

Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations Secretary-General from 2007 to 2016, has stated in a November 2016 press conference that: “We don’t have plan B be -

The UN SDGs are not the reduction of CO 2 or “I refrain fr om eating beef”. The y are much wider and take into c onsideration that development is needed – even in the industry (SDG 9) which seems to be f orgotten in our days when the Media are concentrating rather on “Fridays for future” instead of

e xplaining the complexity in fu ture developments.

Ne vertheless, we have to take care of resources we spend. And we have to decide which are the s teps we are about to take when we decide of the w ay of travelling or the food we are offering during a convention.

How

the exhibition industry can contribute to the SDGs?

The industry has huge scale as each exhibition reaches tens of thousands of people. Exhibitions enc ompass all sectors of business, government, and civil socie ty, and a large v alue chain o f partners and stakeholders c ome together to put the

cause there is no planet B. This thought has guided the development of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”

exhibition together. With such a wide audience and reach, the exhibition industry can have meaningful collective impact. The SDGs are touched in many differen t w ays: Through an exhibition’s theme, the w ay it is organized and operationalized, and the w ay it is supported by its supplier s and partners.

What is UFI doing in this initiative to support industry participation?

Early 2019, UFI started gathering bes t practices to spread awareness of the SDGs and how the indus try players are contributing t o catalyze a sustainable future f or all. Three templates were proposed:

Type I: Exhibition Theme: How the theme of the exhibition c ontributes to the SDGs

Type II: Exhibition Operation: How the operator of the exhibition contributes to the SDGs

Type III: Company’s Operations: How a company’s own operations contribute to the SDGs

A first summary report w as released in J une 2019, around Gl obal Exhibitions Day, and a sec ond data collection process le t to a new ver sion of the report produced in 2020. This report is freely available for download ufi.org/industryresources/research/

The whole concept w as also shared for use by the J oint Mee tings Industry Council, to expand the compilation to other segmen ts of the event industry.

Another approach for S ustainability in the Exhibition Industry: ISO 20121

To tackle the world’s problems mo st effectively, people need to c ombine their energy and act t ogether. The visual world of the In ternet and social media crea tes grea t new possibilities, but does no t remove the efficiency, buzz and sheer enjoyment of the f ace-to-face contact offered by e vents. And, by the w ay, virtual ne tworks are with impact on Carbon footprint.

Events come in all shapes and sizes. From rock concerts to the Olympic Games. The annual mee ting of an association of small and medium-sized en terprises, to international trade f airs. A village barbeque to raise money for a school outing, to a political summit of global

leaders. Events can be “just for a good time” (and there’s nothing wrong with that!), or they can provide the occasion for the signing of international treaties or commercial contracts, achie ving sporting records, or crea ting understanding between differen t communities, countries and cultures.

However, there can be a downside to events. The “great time we had today” can leave an a ftermath of problems for tomorrow. When people get together, particularly in large numbers, they can put a strain on local resources such as w ater and energy, and create significant w aste, or tensions related to cul ture or sheer proximity with neighboring communities. An added challenge is the number o f different partners and supplier s involved in organizing and servicing an event. In response, individual event professionals and companies

have begun developing tools to address one or several of these challenges.

This is the point where ISO 20121 comes in. It has been de veloped by representatives of this same sector on an international scale. It tackles the event indus try’s challenges in all three dimensions of sustainability, at all stages of its supply chain.

Wha t makes it so difficult t o use is the “one size fits all” problem since it is reaching ou t to all actors involved in the organiza tion of an event, at all stages of the supply chain, including the following:

Event organizers

Event owners

Workforce

S upply chain (such as ca terers, stand constructors, tr ansport companies)

Participants

Attendees

Regulatory bodies Communities.

So, it helps to improve the S ustainability of a company or an event a lot. On the other hand, t o run through the whole procedure is extremely time

consuming and frightens off a l ot of companies to take this process management into c onsideration.

So, if a company asks itself: which are the steps that helps to support UN SDG 12 “Responsible C onsumption and Production”

mo st, the look at figures in the priv ate sector can help:

A lmost nobody is discussing it: B ut to lower Carbon footprint Service companies should take

their own energy management in consideration for a change. How are offices heated or chilled? Are solar plants existing on flat roofs? Wha t kind of windows are used: single glass or triple isolated glass?

And there is another approach: IFE S in itself is a sustainable acceler ator. Connecting members helps sourcing locally, avoids transports and respects social labor rules.

People are social

The Future Report 2020 of the Zukunftsinstitut, an ins titution in which a number of people work with “Horx” in their surnames, is entitled “Our Fucking Future” and deals with the attitude to life of millennials in the wil d times of climate conflict.

Tristan Horx, a cultural and social anthropologist, puts forward three theses that can help to rethink the generational discourse.

1 Generations are part of a continuum – and are becoming less and less important in the social debate. The first two digital generations will come together to fight for their future.

2 The future affects everyone, young and old, and in the rapidly changing society “digital” skills play a major role. The adaptations that younger generations have already produced are important. For example, the “bullshit filter”: the ability to sense and “sort out” fakes, exaggerations and

functionalizations of the media. The generations should learn to appreciate this together.

3 It is good that generations Y and Z finally have something to rebel for. For people who have been looking for a good reason to rebel for a long time, the climate crisis seems damned suitable for it. The Friday-forFuture feeling also unites with the generations to come. So, when we speak of “our” future, we mean humanity as a whole – and the youth of tomorrow who will inherit the world.

In particular, Horx challenges the cliché that “generations Y and Z basically hate people because there was no “real” interaction on

WhatsApp and Facebook, and the human factor would somehow be “l ost”. Studies show that younger people even prefer analog communication at work.

Perhaps it is necessary t o bring t ogether the abilities of analog and digital communication in order to achieve a promising c ooperation in our medium, live c ommunication. Because one thing is clear, people born around the turn of the millennium are increasingly finding themselves as visit ors, exhibitors and service providers at trade f airs and events.

So, it takes a little more than smartphones to change the fundamen tal way people are connected. People remain social beings at the end.

Montecolino has developed a carpet management s ystem for Fiera Milano where they have obtained the certificate of 100% recyclability of their products. A fter the exhibition or the event the products are turned into new plastic products. Stop to the dumps f or a sustainable future in the fair sector, following the concept of Circular economy as defined by Ellen Mac Arthur Foundation.

For this project Montecolino has de veloped a carpet management system for Fiera Milano. At the show ground are over 1,5 million m 2 of carpet installed per year The developed system all ows to install over 80.000 m 2 and the removal of over 120.000 m 2 in a working-night.

The activity of carpet removal begins immediately after the end o f the show before the stand buil ders begin to dismantle the boo ths.

The carpet is picked up having care to turn it upside-down to remove foreign matter. The carpe t is folded up and grouped in specific points of the halls.

The delivery to the pressing cen ter takes place in the same nigh t of the show ending.

The material is compacted bef ore the delivery to the rec ycling facilities in order to reduce freight cost. The collected material is compacted for reducing the volume of transport and it is worked in a ray of 1 00 kms by the fair site to be turned into PP granulate that will be transferred to the plastic indus try as raw material.

2 nd place: JMT circular furniture

c oncept – t ogether with Plastic Whale and Vepa

While the current line of Plastic Whale’s furniture is not ‘rental proof’ due to the heavy weigh t, the size and the fragility, Plastic Whale and Vepa are currently working hard to bring the successor to their high-end collection to the market.

Plastic Whale Circular Furniture by Vepa set

To get started with circular furniture right away JMT offers the “Felt” series. A lso developed and produced by Vepa and winner of the Green Product Award 2018, is already available. 60 PET bottles receive a second life in each Felt tub. The process from PET bottle to Felt scale is one of upcycling, making this chair extremely suitable for circular furnishing concepts.

Partnering up with this great initia tive challenges JMT to keep l ooking at other things within our

organisa tion which we can do be tter, more efficient or in a more responsible w ay to bec ome more sustainable. And the funny thing is, more sustainable is often more efficient.

For example, finding a better w ay to transport or package our furniture is on the one hand more efficient, but on the other hand also more sustainable.

Products remain in a better s tate which automatically leads t o less repairing, cleaning and pain ting, which means less use

o f w ater, heat and electricity and it also leads to a longer ‘life’ and perhaps less transport movements because of the more efficien t w ay of packaging. And this is just one example, sus tainability and efficiency go hand in hand.

Statement of the Jury

The best ideas are often very simple. And this concept is one of this kind of ideas. C ongratu la tions!

FOTOBODEN™ is a photorealistic printed vin yl fl ooring for trade fairs, stands and events. It is used for large area floor advertisement, visual communication and for decoration. It is eas y to use, long-lasting, and has a brilliant appear ance. The product w as developed by visuals united AG, Germany, and is patented in the core European markets.

Before the invention of Fotoboden there w as no custom prin ted vin yl flooring. The only options for custom flooring for tr ade shows were printed carpe ts, floor-stickers or pain ting. Carpets have usually l ow printing resolution. Fl oor-stickers can hardly be used for large areas: one needs a perfectly even surface and a l ot of time to apply them. P ainting is, of course, the c ostliest option. The material is a 2mm-thick cushioned vin yl flooring. It has a hard, anti-slip (R10) surface, especially designed to adhere with ink. By using large format digital printing, it is possible to crea te photorealistic designs with 1,080 DPI.

Fotoboden is 100% recyclable. I t is a vin yl flooring that can bec ome, via recycling, a new vin yl flooring. 100% of the product is turned into a high-qualit y flooring again. The production w aste and all products that are returned to visuals united are being recycled free of charge for our customers. Even Cradle-to-Cradle projects are using the flooring.

Statement of the Jury:

The printed flooring material give new marketing opportunities on show grounds and during e vents which were extremely c ost intensive before. This will help in times of never ending budge t discussions.

Expocloud collects performance data just like google analytics: With Event Metrics sensors the service detects automatically and GDPR compliant the behavior of trade show visit ors. The collected da ta is available in real time either in the Portal

ExpoCl oud or in the Insights App.

It captures visit or flows automatically. With Event Metrics an exhibitor can use data to rate the perf ormance of its live-communication-actions at the touch of a bu tton. For this a small sensor is placed at your trade fair booth. It captures, privacy compliant, the behavior of the event visit ors based on WiFi technology.

This data is available in real time on the platform. With the collected information you can analyse visit or behavior at the booth, optimize the trade fair c oncept and assess the success o f the live-marketing actions

based on defined KPIs. Event Me trics offer a long-term and v alid decision basis for the s trategic direction of live-communication.

Expocl oud helps to collect and analyse Key da ta, jus t like google analytics does in online marketing, of your entire exhibition stand. I t can focus on separ ate areas like c ounters, meeting poin ts or terminals, as well as individual exhibits.

“Cultural Frameworks”

Na tional culture is one of the mo st ignored aspects of in ternational trade show programs. Neglecting subtle nuances in cross-cultural business can be devastating, as unrealized components of cul ture can damage business rela tionships and nullify marketing efforts. Recognizing that all business is conducted within the “c ontext of culture” helps one to see things from a t otally differen t per spective. This session provides a brief overview of the v arious dimensions of culture which should be considered when exhibiting in other countries, such as:

RAI Amsterdam

is an international exhibition and conference organization.

S ince 1893, RAI Ams terdam has actively tried to create the right c ontext for inspiring meetings t o take place in and strong ties t o develop in.

As one of Europe’s busiest convention centers, RAI Ams terdam hosts around 600 exhibitions, conferences and (larger and smaller) events a year

The RAI is a non-stop business during the exhibition season, with a wide range of (international) people and equipment crossing paths in quick succession. Every day the RAI team works with its clients and suppliers to f acilitate v aluable encounters be tween people from around the world; meetings that stimulate the sustainable growth and

de velopment of people, markets and the environment. In doing so

R AI has designated three focal areas:

People & society

The RAI w ants people to perf orm to their best, serve as a safe place to meet and gener ate social return in order to stimulate the growth and development of those with whom the business in teracts.

S ustainable organisation & f acilitation

Zero w aste, climate-neutral operations and a sustainable product range is the aim so that an environment can be ensured that enables mee tings both now and long into the future.

S timulating development & growth

The active creation of

inspiring e vents tha t s timulate the sustainable growth and de velopment of people and marke ts in the Netherlands and abroad is one of the goals.

C ompagnietheatre

The Compagnietheater is housed in the former church of the Res tored Lutheran Congregation from the 18th century. The church w as permitted by the city c ouncil on the condition that the buil ding would not have the ou tward features of a church, with a tower and a clock.

After a period of v acancy, the former church w as renovated in 1995 to be a theater. Many high-profile performances by the theater company de Thea tercompagnie took place here until 2009 when it became a stage f or the next generation of artists, crea tors, and makers to

present art that reflects on the world around us.

Compagnietheater has the ambiance of an 18th-century mansion, combined with the modern appliances of a contemporary event venue. It is both hip and styled but above all w arm and welc oming. It is situated in the center of Ams terdam in w alking distance to the central tr ain station. Outside the Building the Canals of Ams terdam are fl owing, wha t makes the venue perfect for the IFES Summit.

Speakers

Kai Hattendorf

“And now the wea ther - From UFI’ s perspective”, K ai will gíve an “indus try wea ther f orecast” in line with our ‘Winds o f Change” theme, covering the ongoing climate change in the e vents industry business models,

and share wha t will drive fu ture growth. Bring sunscreen. And an umbrella…”

Marius Smit

Smit is the founder o f the company “Plas tic Whale”, an initia tive that has se t itself the task o f clearing the Ams terdam canals of plastic w aste. But that’s no t all: the discarded bags, bo ttles, buckets - and everything else you can find - have turned in to heralds of excursions or, more recently, furniture. A ll clear upc ycling products that are far away from “eco charm”, but real design highlights. Smit uses his own example to show how you can win people over to your ideas by motivating yourself and belie ving in the project. Initially ridiculed as one of the many ec o-spinners, he now runs a c ompany with 30 employees and has sponsors like the city o f Amsterdam or PWC who

support his ideas for up-cycling plas tic w aste.

Fares Boustanji

The New Leadership Awareness is changing from doing to being!

Thrown off track by a burnout, the trainer, also known as “Bird Man”, sought a re treat as a falconer. It soon became clear to him: “You also have to communicate with birds – but this happens much more directly. Birds react much more sensitively to body language, voice modulation, facial expressions and gestures. Or to put it ano ther w ay: If I manage to get a bird of prey to trust me, I am also able to gain the trust of a human being. The art here is t o get involved with one’s own needs and to understand them intuitively.

Roosegaarde

Dutch artist and innovator Daan

Roosegaarde

(19 79) is a creative thinker and maker of social designs which explore the relation between people, technol ogy and space.

He founded Studio Roosegaarde in 2007, where he works with his team of designers and engineer s towards a better fu ture. Together they develop ‘Landscapes of the Future’ buil ding smart sustainable prototypes for the cities of t omorrow.

Roosegaarde: “I don’t believe in a utopia, I believe in a protopia: a prototype world that we are improving step by step. We do not know what the future looks like and what challenges that en tails. What we do know is that there is no way back. If we do not invest in new ideas, we will die. We are all part of the prototype.

Le t us not be afraid, but be curious and work together.”

Roosegaarde has been driven by nature’s gifts such as light emit ting fireflies and jellyfish since an early age. His fascination for nature and technology is reflected in his iconic designs such as Waterlicht (a virtual fl ood) and Smog Free Project (the largest outdoor air purifier in the world which makes jewellery.

This engaging and interactive session will encourage individuals to become more aware as to their wellbeing and business leaders to think differently about the wellbeing of their team. The Don’t Just Be methodology will be discussed and each attendee will walk away with an action plan as to how they are going to put their biggest asset centre stage.

Value based design, key to groundbreaking exhibition projects A f ocus on br and and cultural v alues is an enduring successful basis for developing groundbreaking projects for high profile international clients. The search for the client‘s DNA - for wha t lies at the heart, wha t makes it tick. A complex of influences certainly. But filtering through we find a single essential emotional v alue or two that c onnect the client or story with the time, location and visit ors of a project - resulting in innovative spa tial concepts and experiences. The presentation is a visual and imaginative journey through some spectacular project examples, ranging from large scale automobile industry presen tations to World Expo pavilions for nations.

IFES Global Village a t the EXHIBITOR LIVE

February 25 – 27, 2019

During the EXHIBITOR LIVE , IFE S and 7 of its member s presen ted at a pavilion in Las Vegas (Mandalay Bay C ongress Center). It once again lived up to its name “ Gl obal Village”: it w as like a good village where “residen ts” and visit ors met, e xchanged ideas, wen t on some projects t ogether or just had a cup o f c offee.

This made the Global Village a special kind of community participa tion. The companies presen ted themselves on an area of 90 m². However, not only member s, partners and friends were welc ome at the “Market of the International Tr ade show World. If a visit or w as interested in the global trade show business, he or she w as in exactly the right place with us,” said Gore tzky.

Since w armth and hospitality have always been a top priority a t IFES and the familiar atmosphere has always been emphasised, there w as a hospitality area throughout the fair that in vited visit ors to come back and s tay for a while.

At this stage we want to thank our Sponsors:

IFES, invited the industry to A thens f or the 21 st World Summit

June 26 – 28, 2019

After the official Annual General Meeting and presentation of the 13 new members, some 250 guests accepted the invitation to a party over the rooftops

o f Athens at Lycabettus Hill. The World Summit Opening Night as a prelude is a fixed part of the e vent, as is the Gala Diner which w as situated at a peninsula in the middle of the Ionian Sea.

For the second time, the World S ummit w as preceded by the S ustainable Starter: a mini c onvention about sustainability. This year, the winner s of the Ufi S ustainable Award presented their award-winning projects.

The speakers’ line-up w as also true to the motto “Summit of Inspir ation”: Pure Inspiration.

D imitris A. Tsouchlos inspired with extensive experience in managemen t, psychology and team dynamics and accompanied the audience on a transformative journey. 40% of our state o f mind depends on our

beha viour – this has to be activel y used.

Myrto Dimitrou, Origami Mas ter, showed with the help of a Din A4 sheet wh y communication can go wrong every day. A s a social anthropologist, she c ombined Greek folk art with the Japanese art of paperfolding and an educational program: Re thinking.

The “Design Ambassador” Vassilios Bartzokas introduced f our extraordinary Greek architects under the heading “The Greek Inspiration”. Ermis Adamantidis, Director at Not a

Number Architects, presented spa tial installations through to urban planning. Helen Brasinika, designer & co-founder at BllendDesign& Research Office, presen ted the architectural link be tween creation and environment. Dimitris Koliadimas, owner/creative director at Semio tik introduced “The Volvo Ocean Race” and Ilias Papageorgiou, Greek architect and f ounder of PILA, “Mini living!” Jochen Wit t (JWC Consulting) can look back on a success s tory of many year s in the r anges fair strategy, price

structuring of fair achievements, B usiness development, planning and building of meeting places and Business Intelligence. A s desired, his presentation w as a follow-up to the World S ummit in Chicago and with a f ocus on China.

Pe ter Economides presented a motivating and appealing narr ative based on a strong belief and v alue system, which o ffers a strong brand and c ontrols it while defining external expectations. And Charles P appas discussed how the World Expo sitions changed life.

P anagiotis Podimatas dealt with the thought “When the ec onomy drives your creativity” using the example of the Athens Fligh t Week before Dr. Christian C oppeneur-Gülz in a fascinating lecture asked himself whe ther we should leave the stage to Google & Co.

The Eugenides Foundation, as a venue, has been committed to scien tific and technical education for more than fifty year s and is looking forward to a future with completely renovated and renewed facilities by creating a mul ti-storey education centre to

the highest standards in the Faliro Delta. Dimitris Protopsaltou, General Director of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation’s Cultural Centre, invited to an informative virtual tour of the Foundation before the Y-IFES ( Young IFES) presented itself and its aims.

The impressive Hand-over to Ams terdam, World Summit 2020 (25- 27 J une) concluded the three-day event.

6 th MasterClass

Rotterdam, Dec 1 – 3, 2019

MASTER CLASS

The 6 th MasterClass, a state-of-the-art seminar sho wing market trends and improving presentation skills, took place in December in Rotterdam.

The undisputed highlight w as the falkner Fares Boustanji, be tter known as the Bird man. I t quickly became clear to B oustanji that communicating with birds must be done much more directly than communicating with humans. Birds react much more sensitively to body language, voice modulation, f acial expressions and gestures. B oustanji puts it another w ay, “If I manage to get a bird of prey t o trust me, I am also able to gain a person’s trust. The art here is to get involved with one’s own needs and to understand them intuitively.”

Han Leenhouts and JeanPierre Brouwers, the two mas terminds of this year’ s Mas terClass, and Riemer R ijpkema, Chairman of CLC Vecta, are well known among tho se in the Dutch live communica tions scene. In three days they mediated and collaborated with international participants t o define: “What stands out and helps most in differentiating from the competition,” How t o proceed in the fight for the marke ting/sales-Euro” and “How to find solutions to overcome the Top 10 refusals from customers” – all of this, within the framework of sus tainability.

This recent IFES MasterClass was somewhat different in location and form. The meeting took place on the SS Rotterdam, a 60-year-old luxury liner firmly moored as a museum event space in Rotterdam Harbour. A look out of the porthole provided new inspiration and the hospitality of Rotterdam provided the necessary relaxation.
