Proud to be IFES

The ”global collaboration network“. That’s how we have chosen to explain what IFES is, in three words.

But to understand what IFES is you have to go into deeper detail. IFES represents more than 250 Companies from around the globe. Each of these companies has signed the IFES Code of Conduct – a kind of constitution which rules the collaboration within the whole network. So, if an IFES partner serves the customer of another member, both, the customer and member know that they will be treated in a professional manner from a company upholding the highest of quality standards. This is a value-added member benefit that is hard to put a price on.

To enhance the number of partnerships within the IFES family, we are offering several opportunities to ”get to know one another.“ The most prominent is the IFES World Summit, which takes place every year in June. “Welcome to the Global Campus” is the theme for 2017 when we will meet in La-Grande-Motte, Montpellier.

IFES Masterclass and IFES Certified Expert are two educational programs offered by IFES to ensure we have well-educated, global-thinking employees serving our industry. Both programs will run in November and December 2017.

”Support and be supported“ – that is the general idea of the federation. And we are proud to be a part of it.

THE IFES BOARD

By the way: This is the first issue of IFES Worldview. We hope you will enjoy the read.

In our first issue, IFES Worldview undertakes the task of highlighting designs for spatial communication and their sources of inspiration. We begin by consulting experts and IFES members, an admittedly subjective selection process which we fully acknowledge to our readers. As an introduction to the topic, we begin by asking fundamental questions: How do creatives actually find their ideas? And what happens when they find these ideas? We hope you enjoy reading.
