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 was 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 years.

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 obstacles we may encounter.

The year will commence with EuroShop in February, where IFES not only will have one of the largest booth spaces in the fair, but will be able to present to our industry the winners of the IDIA Award and show why we remain the most prominent and largest association within our market.

A few weeks later, we will attend EXHIBITORLIVE in Las Vegas, where together, we shall meet and encounter the new trends the next few years will dominate the global exhibition sector.

Our World Summit will take place in the vibrant city of Amsterdam, where from inspiration, we shall discover the “Winds of Change”, and what we shall expect to confront the next few years.

Our collaboration with the National Associations members of IFES will continue to grow, and altogether we will be able to share more information to all of you.

The year could not end without our attendance at EXPO 2020 in Dubai, where we shall reach out to make our visits to the various 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 m ­ ajor Shows – EuroShop and ­E XHIBITORLIVE! Nobody knows if we will have roaring twenties again, like in the last century, but the omens are favourable.

For sure the upcoming years 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 connections in excited times. IFES is such a partner: Together with all its members the association is collecting information, analyses them, asks for some advise from outside 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 ­person real soon.

IFES Board on: What is the biggest challenge in the ­upcoming decade?

Different countries, different people, different expectations: All IFES Board members give there own perspective on the question: What is the biggest challenge in the upcoming decade. The answers are exciting and diverse, just like our industry:

Peter Theodorides President Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, once said “Inspiration follows Aspiration” and with this motivating quote, I would like to share with all of you what 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 Membership Committee Chair to finally reach the Presidency, has allowed me to understand how to actively contribute with all the world, the true value of this association.

07

With this in mind, my dream of executing and being able to continue “sharing knowledge” was made possible for those that took part in the successful IFES World Summit in Athens, Greece, “The Summit of Inspiration”.

Based on the above, I will continue “inspiring” and looking into new challenges by “aspiring” in making even more successful projects the years to come.

With major issues within our industry 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 importantly, 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 perseverance, make this association even bigger and stronger by understanding and providing vital information to all of you.

The obstacles and challenges ahead of us can only be surpassed by comprehending our peers and the developments in our market, which is why I plan to continue having open communication and mutual respect for our partners worldwide.

No challenge will be easy, and even more, no goal will be met without a struggle, but just as I have worked and all these years together with all of you, I can only contemplate that we shall make this new decade an even more commendable one.

drive for change will escalate.

Our planet is on fire and the realisation that we have limited resources is fast sinking in. We are a very adaptable industry and I believe we can work together to make exhibitions much more resource-efficient.

Voicu Sferdianu Past President To my opinion the toughest challenge of this decade will be manpower. Attracting and retaining talents, both on the floor and in the office. Finding the right incentive for new generations to turn to the exhibition industry and get “the fever”.

Justin Hawes Vice President Finance/ Treasurer The exhibition industry is a huge waster of resources. People fly in from far away to visit expos, they attend shows in venues that are massive consumers of energy, and they stay in venues that keep all the lights on day and night. There is always more food catered for than is needed, and exhibition stands are often designed and built for a single application. All of these factors make our industry very wasteful.

I believe in the next decade our industry’s ability to offer sustainable 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 industries and businesses and altered the way we live and work.

The rapid introduction and application of this wave of new technology is going to accelerate in the next ten years. Forward-thinking businesses and industries that keep abreast of new developments and trends will be the winners. Almost every business needs to now think of itself as a digital enterprise.

Carbon footprint by emails A standard email: 4 g CO2 An email with “long and tiresome attachments”: 50 g CO2

Torsten Heinze Vice President Strategy Over the last century, our industry has evolved and expanded into a professional service that is able to deliver, at any time and any place in the world, solid and functional booth construction. However, within the same period, we have only developed technologies and materials to achieve this demand, which was marked by the questions “doable?” to “priceworthy?”. Thusly, up to the present day, we have followed client-driven requests without questioning what the impact of our collective project(s) is on our environment. Only in just the last two decades have we started implementing within our products and certifications services that allow us look a little more “green” beyond what we can readily admit. This mission is not yet completed: instead of squeezing prices, we need a chip to bargain with in order to negotiate a less impactful CO2 emission than over cost-savings.

CO2 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 develop such a system; hand in hand with organizers, venues, suppliers, and stand builders.

The other change we will see

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 comprised of those with and without attachments (those with attachments predominantly have more than one). So… 60.5 spam emails x 0.3 g CO2 = 18.5 g CO2 30.25 standard emails x 4 g CO2 = 121 g CO2 30.25 emails with attachments x 50 g CO2 = 1512.5 g CO2 This means that a day’s worth of emails received is equal to 1,652 g CO2 …

And that one year’s worth of emails received equals 603,393 g CO2 = 0.593863329 or 0.6 tons CO2 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 various 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 CO2 emission is by employing local resources (IFES is a perfect tool for this), re-using constructions and materials, and by smart design concepts – hopefully with the support and commitment of those who need the exhibits: our clients. By the way, have you ever heard of NEON Core R3? Maybe we’ll have a digital twin soon to help us in achieving our mission quicker than we thought. * h ttps://globalnews.ca/news/3395457/this-is-how-much-time-you-spend-onwork-emails-every-day-according-to-a-canadian-survey/ ** https://climateoutreach.org/resources/walking-the-walk/

over the next few years is the impact of digitalization incorporated into the live experience and around events. We already can feel and see the changes in our personal lives, and we use these new technologies for our projects. The next level that is hitting 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.

Andrew Harrison Board Member Associations Supplier and service commoditisation – Gradual commoditisation of partnerships with a fixation on price over service and relationship between clients and suppliers. 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.

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

Ninni Arion Board Member Young IFES I have been thinking how our industry, in general, will develope in the future. Generations up till millenials have prefered face to face meetings despite the digital opportunities our

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 network 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, what is the status for exhibitions when the next generation, generation Z, will be actually the ones coming to the shows in this decade?

As the generation Z has access to social media platforms, website 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 without 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 between each other online, like none of us before.

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 ready for that?

Cam Stevens Board Member Education There are many far more significant issues facing us globally in today’s world such as the environment, the consumption of natural resources, rapid growth in population, poverty, as well as many geopolitical circumstances that far outweigh trade 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 today. Young people today do more research/shopping on their mobile devices on the products or services they seek and are not attending trade shows and events as much as previous generations have.

This seems to be more prevalent with consumer shows than trade shows. Budgets are being frozen or reduced in order to make room for searching out other methods to reach the consumer. What is interesting is that those young people that do become engaged with trade shows realize the value in face to face engagement, but it’s something that they have to experience before they can really see the potential.

Trade shows have been around since earlier than the silk road trade routes. Trade shows are still strong, and in my opinion will continue to be relevant.

However, exhibits must now be more customer-centric, multi-sensory experiences that take advantage of “considered� technology (not technology for the sake of technology) in order to engage with the next generation audience. We, as promoters of face-to-face marketing, will need to ensure that we determine ways to continue to engage this particular audience and ensure that we stay relevant to their way of absorbing knowledge and making their buying choices.

To offer the best experience to exhibitors and visitors.

To create a world of exhibitions and business meetings more rewarding, profitable, always more magical and appealing.

And above all for a more ethical 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is your 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 because there is no planet B. This thought has guided the development of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” The UN SDGs are not the reduction of CO 2 or “I refrain from eating beef”. They are much wider and take into consideration that development is needed – even in the industry (SDG 9) which seems to be forgotten in our days when the Media are concentrating rather on “Fridays for future” instead of

| What is your goal?

explaining the complexity in future developments.

Nevertheless, we have to take care of resources we spend. And we have to decide which are the steps we are about to take when we decide of the way 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 encompass all sectors of business, government, and civil society, and a large value chain of partners and stakeholders come together to put the

exhibition together. With such a wide audience and reach, the exhibition industry can have meaningful collective impact.

The SDGs are touched in many different ways: Through an exhibition’s theme, the way it is organized and operationalized, and the way it is supported by its suppliers and partners.

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

Early 2019, UFI started gathering best practices to spread awareness of the SDGs and how the industry players are contributing to catalyze a sustainable future for all. Three templates were proposed:

Type I: Exhibition Theme: How the theme of the exhibition contributes 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 was released in June 2019, around Global Exhibitions Day, and a second data collection process let to a new version of the report produced in 2020.

This report is freely available for download ufi.org/industry­resources/research/

The whole concept was also shared for use by the Joint Meetings Industry Council, to expand the compilation to other segments of the event industry.

Another approach for ­Sustainability in the Exhibition Industry: ISO 20121 To tackle the world’s problems most effectively, people need to combine their energy and act together. The visual world of the Internet and social media creates great new possibilities, but does not remove the efficiency, buzz and sheer enjoyment of the face-to-face contact offered by events. And, by the way, virtual networks are with impact on Carbon footprint.

Events come in all shapes and sizes. From rock concerts to the Olympic Games. The annual meeting of an association of small and medium-sized enterprises, to international trade fairs. 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, achieving sporting records, or creating understanding between different communities, countries and cultures.

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

15

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

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

What makes it so difficult to use is the “one size fits all” problem since it is reaching out to all actors involved in the organization of an event, at all stages of the supply chain, including the following: Event organizers Event owners Workforce Supply chain (such as caterers, stand constructors, transport companies) Participants Attendees Regulatory bodies Communities.

So, it helps to improve the Sustainability of a company or an event a lot. On the other hand, to run through the whole procedure is extremely time 16

| What is your goal?

consuming and frightens off a lot of companies to take this process management into consideration.

So, if a company asks itself: which are the steps that helps to support UN SDG 12 “Responsible Consumption and Production” most, the look at figures in the private sector can help: Almost nobody is discussing it: But 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? What kind of windows are used: single glass or triple isolated glass?

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

People are social The Future Report 2020 of the Zukunftsinstitut, an institution 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 wild 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 18

| People are social

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-for-­ Future 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 “lost”. Studies show that younger people even prefer analog communication at work.

Perhaps it is necessary to bring together the abilities of analog and digital communication in order to achieve a promising cooperation in our medium, live communication. Because one thing is clear, people born around the turn of the millennium are increasingly finding themselves as visitors, exhibitors and service providers at trade fairs and events.

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

Montecolino has developed a carpet management system for Fiera Milano where they have obtained the certificate of 100% recyclability of their products.

After the exhibition or the event the products are turned into new plastic products. Stop to the dumps for a sustainable future in the fair sector, following the concept of Circular economy as defined by Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

26

|  IFES Development + Innovation Award

For this project Montecolino has developed a carpet management system for Fiera Milano.

At the show ground are over 1,5 million m2 of carpet installed per year. The developed system allows to install over 80.000 m2 and the removal of over 120.000 m2 in a working-night.

The activity of carpet removal begins immediately after the end of the show before the stand builders begin to dismantle the booths.

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

The delivery to the pressing center takes place in the same night of the show ending.

The material is compacted before the delivery to the recycling 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 100 kms by the fair site to be turned into PP granulate that will be transferred to the plastic industry as raw material.

Statement of the Jury montECOlino RECYCLING CARPET shows exemplarily how sustainability can work in the exhibition industry: Ecological and economic advantages reach out to each other, creating a future-oriented process.

Mood with Felt chair

Meeting room setting with Felt chair

Detail Plastic Whale table

To get started with circular furniture right away JMT offers the “Felt” series. Also 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 initiative challenges JMT to keep looking at other things within our

organisation which we can do better, more efficient or in a more responsible way to become more sustainable. And the funny thing is, more sustainable is often more efficient.

For example, finding a better way 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 state which automatically leads to less repairing, cleaning and painting, which means less use

of water, heat and electricity and it also leads to a longer ‘life’ and perhaps less transport movements because of the more efficient way of packaging.

And this is just one example, sustainability 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.

FOTOBODEN™ is a photorealistic printed vinyl flooring for trade fairs, stands and events.

It is used for large area floor advertisement, ­visual communication and for decoration. It is easy to use, long-lasting, and has a brilliant ­a ppearance. The product was developed by ­visuals united AG, Germany, and is patented in the core European markets.

30

| IFES Development + Innovation Award

Before the invention of Fotoboden there was no custom printed vinyl flooring. The only options for custom flooring for trade shows were printed carpets, floor-stickers or painting. Carpets have usually low printing resolution.

Floor-stickers can hardly be used for large areas: one needs a perfectly even surface and a lot of time to apply them.

Painting is, of course, the costliest option.

The material is a 2mm-thick cushioned vinyl 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 create photorealistic designs with 1,080 DPI. Fotoboden is 100% recyclable.

It is a vinyl flooring that can become, via recycling, a new vinyl flooring. 100% of the product is turned into a high-quality flooring again.

The production waste 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 events which were extremely cost intensive before. This will help in times of never ending budget discussions.

Runner up: Expocloud collects performance data just like ­google analytics: With Event Metrics sensors the ­service detects automatically and GDPR compliant the behavior of trade show visitors. The collected data is available in real time either in the Portal ExpoCloud or in the Insights App.

Brand Awareness

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

This data is available in realtime on the platform. With the collected information you can analyse visitor behavior at the booth, optimize the trade fair concept and assess the success of the live-marketing actions 32

based on defined KPIs. Event Metrics offer a long-term and valid decision basis for the strategic direction of live-communication.

Expocloud helps to collect and analyse Key data, just like google analytics does in online marketing, of your entire exhibition stand.

It can focus on separate areas like counters, meeting points or terminals, as well as individual exhibits.

The nature of the board makes it an ideal material to use in the expo industry, for activation’s, bulkheads in retail environment and signage. The board is made from recycled pulp, using products not harmful to the environment and is 100% recyclable. The board comes in various thickness’s – typically 8mm to 16mm and is cut or folded to make up structural elements. The board is printed direct and can also be laminated.

The board is an engineered fiberboard manufactured from post consumer paper waste.

The finish is either print ready white or craft.

34

The natural, fiber based board consists of the high crush strength craft core sandwiched between the liners, offering designers and board convertors a VOC free alternative to MDF, particle board or rigid of foam filled plastic sheeting.

Joining of boards during construction there are various options available. Most common used are locks made from the board, threaded bar and nuts and bolts. To strengthen a span, aluminum channel bar is used.

Post event the board can either be re-used or ­r ecycled.

15:30 Dr. Bonnie Higgins + Mitch Blessing “Exhibit Design Education in the United States“ In academia, Bemidji State University (BSU) in Minnesota, USA, boasts one of the selected few design programs in the entire nation that prepares young designers specifically for the exhibition and event industries.

Since the early 1990s, the BSU Experiential Exhibit Design program has educated a steady stream of qualified specialized designers, ready to accept job postings all over the world. In additional to US nationals, recent Experiential Exhibit Design graduates include citizens of Malaysia, Moldova, China, India, Nepal, Japan, Uzbekistan, and many other countries.

14:00 Sophie Chénel “Paper in architecture and art – a way to sustainability” Through many examples, paper is an important source of inspiration for architecture and design as well as a real sustainable media to make temporary architecture.

Procédés Chénel gathers artists, architects and designers onto many projects to test its papers in order to improve knowledge, increase creativity and happiness in the creation process.

Through this trends review, and this marvelous journey among paper artists Procédés Chénel want to share its sustainable solutions with its creative community.

14:30 Jeff Hannah “Cultural Frameworks” National culture is one of the most ignored aspects of international trade show programs. Neglecting subtle nuances in cross-cultural business can be devastating, as unrealized components of culture can damage business relationships and nullify marketing efforts. Recognizing that all business is conducted within the “context of culture” helps one to see things from a totally different perspective. This session provides a brief overview of the various dimensions of culture which should be considered when exhibiting in other countries, such as: ethnocentric vs. cultural context approach individualism vs collectivism a ge vs. youth p erspectives on time p ower distance index communications – verbal and non-verbal g ender views and masculinity index 15:00 Hannes Bäuerle “materialREPORT 2020 – Latest trends and material developments” The keynote lecture will highlight which surfaces, materials and colours are currently in use or will be in trend in the future with numerous practical examples.

The focus is on the topic of hotels. The latest design concepts of boutique hotels, international chains and of course luxury homes will be shown.

The main focus is on the special use of materials. Various Top 10 lists will be presented, the most frequently requested materials at raumprobe.

In addition, selected new developments are presented, whose creative use designers can already look forward to today.

COMPAGNIETHEATRE

DRAFT - THE INSIDE

Venues RAI Amsterdam … is an international exhibition and conference organization.

Since 1893, RAI Amsterdam has actively tried to create the right context for inspiring meetings to take place in and strong ties to develop in.

As one of Europe’s busiest convention centers, RAI Amsterdam 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 facilitate valuable encounters between people from around the world; meetings that stimulate the sustainable growth and

development of people, markets and the environment. In doing so RAI has designated three focal areas: P eople & society The RAI wants people to perform to their best, serve as a safe place to meet and generate social return in order to stimulate the growth and development of those with whom the business interacts.

Sustainable organisation & facilitation Zero waste, climate-neutral operations and a sustainable product range is the aim so that an environment can be ensured that enables meetings both now and long into the future.

Stimulating development & growth The active creation of

inspiring events that stimulate the sustainable growth and development of people and markets in the Netherlands and abroad is one of the goals.

Compagnietheatre The Compagnietheater is housed in the former church of the Restored Lutheran Congregation from the 18th century. The church was permitted by the city council on the condition that the building would not have the outward features of a church, with a tower and a clock.

After a period of vacancy, the former church was renovated in 1995 to be a theater. Many high-profile performances by the theater company de Theatercompagnie took place here until 2009 when it became a stage for the next generation of artists, creators, and makers to 47

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 warm and welcoming. It is situated in the center of Amsterdam in walking distance to the central train station. Outside the Building the Canals of Amsterdam are flowing, what makes the venue perfect for the IFES Summit.

Speakers Kai Hattendorf “And now … the weather - From UFI’s perspective”, Kai will gíve an “industry weather forecast” in line with our ‘Winds of Change” theme, covering the ongoing climate change in the events industry business models, 48

and share what will drive future growth. Bring sunscreen.

And an umbrella…”

Marius Smit Smit is the founder of the company “Plastic Whale”, an initiative that has set itself the task of clearing the Amsterdam canals of plastic waste. But that’s not all: the discarded bags, bottles, buckets - and everything else you can find - have turned into heralds of excursions or, more recently, furniture. All clear upcycling 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 believing in the project. Initially ridiculed as one of the many eco-spinners, he now runs a company with 30 employees and has sponsors like the city of Amsterdam or PWC who

support his ideas for up-cycling plastic waste.

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 retreat 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 another way: 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 to get involved with one’s own needs and to understand them intuitively.

Daan ­Roosegaarde Dutch artist and innovator Daan Roosegaarde (1979) is a creative thinker and maker of social designs which explore the relation between people, technology and space.

He founded Studio Roosegaarde in 2007, where he works with his team of designers and engineers towards a better future. Together they develop ‘Landscapes of the Future’ building smart sustainable prototypes for the cities of tomorrow.

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 entails. 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.

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

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

Laura Capell-Abra 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.

Pieter van Lier Value based design, key to groundbreaking exhibition projects A focus on brand and cultural values is an enduring successful basis for developing groundbreaking projects for high profile international clients.

The search for the client‘s DNA - for what lies at the heart, what makes it tick. A complex of influences certainly. But filtering through we find a single essential emotional value or two that connect the client or story with the time, location and visitors of a project - resulting in innovative spatial concepts and experiences. The presentation is a visual and imaginative journey through some spectacular project examples, ranging from large scale automobile industry presentations to World Expo pavilions for nations.

IFES Global Village at the EXHIBITORLIVE February 25 – 27, 2019

During the EXHIBITORLIVE, IFES and 7 of its ­members ­presented at a pavilion in Las ­V egas (Mandalay Bay ­Congress Center). It once again lived up to its name “­G lobal ­Village”: it was like a good ­village where ­“residents” and ­v isitors met, ­exchanged ideas, went on some projects ­together or just had a cup of ­coffee.

This made the Global Village a special kind of community participation. The companies presented themselves on an area of 90 m². However, not only members, partners and friends were welcome at the “Market of the International Trade show World. If a visitor was interested in the global trade show business, he or she was in exactly the right place with us,” said Goretzky.

Since warmth and hospitality have always been a top priority at IFES and the familiar atmosphere has always been emphasised, there was a hospitality area throughout the fair that invited visitors to come back and stay for a while.

At this stage we want to thank our Sponsors:

IFES, invited the industry to Athens for the 21st 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 of Athens at Lycabettus Hill. The World Summit Opening Night as a prelude is a fixed part of the event, as is the Gala Diner which was situated at a peninsula in the middle of the Ionian Sea. For the second time, the World Summit was preceded by the Sustainable Starter: a mini convention about sustainability.

This year, the winners of the Ufi Sustainable Award presented their award-winning projects.

The speakers’ line-up was also true to the motto “Summit of Inspiration”: Pure Inspiration.

Dimitris A. Tsouchlos inspired with extensive experience in management, psychology and team dynamics and accompanied the audience on a transformative journey. 40% of our state of mind depends on our 58

behaviour – this has to be actively used.

Myrto Dimitrou, Origami Master, showed with the help of a Din A4 sheet why communication can go wrong every day.

As a social anthropologist, she combined Greek folk art with the Japanese art of paperfolding and an educational program: Rethinking.

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

Number Architects, presented spatial installations through to urban planning. Helen Brasinika, designer & co-founder at BllendDesign& Research Office, presented the architectural link between creation and environment. Dimitris Koliadimas, owner/creative director at Semiotik introduced “The Volvo Ocean Race” and Ilias Papageorgiou, Greek architect and founder of PILA, “Mini living!”

Jochen Witt (JWC Consulting) can look back on a success story of many years in the ranges fair strategy, price

structuring of fair achievements, Business development, planning and building of meeting places and Business Intelligence.

As desired, his presentation was a follow-up to the World Summit in Chicago and with a focus on China.

Peter Economides presented a motivating and appealing narrative based on a strong belief and value system, which offers a strong brand and controls it while defining external expectations. And Charles Pappas discussed how the World Expositions changed life.

Panagiotis Podimatas dealt with the thought “When the economy drives your creativity” using the example of the Athens Flight Week before Dr. Christian Coppeneur-Gülz in a fascinating lecture asked himself whether we should leave the stage to Google & Co. The Eugenides Foundation, as a venue, has been committed to scientific and technical education for more than fifty years and is looking forward to a future with completely renovated and renewed facilities by creating a multi-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 Amsterdam, World Summit 2020 (25-27 June) concluded the three-day event.

MASTER CLASS

6th MasterClass Rotterdam, Dec 1 – 3, 2019

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

60

| Flashback

The undisputed highlight was the falkner Fares Boustanji, better known as the Bird man.

It quickly became clear to Boustanji that communicating with birds must be done much more directly than communicating with humans. Birds react much more sensitively to body language, voice modulation, facial expressions and gestures.

Boustanji puts it another way, “If I manage to get a bird of prey to 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 masterminds of this year’s MasterClass, and Riemer Rijpkema, Chairman of CLC Vecta, are well known among those in the Dutch live commu­ nications scene. In three days they mediated and collaborated with international participants to define: “What stands out and helps most in differentiating from the competition,” How to proceed in the fight for the marketing/sales-Euro” and “How to find solutions to overcome the Top 10 refusals from customers” – all of this, within the framework of ­sustainability.

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 pro- vided new inspiration and the hospitality of Rotterdam pro- vided the necessary relaxation.
