The Idea of the IFES Global Village

For the first time, during EuroShop 2017, IFE S presented, together with 16 members the IFE S Global Village. A place, where partners had a chance to meet, find answers, network, enhance their business, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee.

As it should happen in a proper village, the community celebrated at one night its “Block Party”. Visitors, guests and exhibitors took the occasion to network and enjoy themselves.
