Almost 40 Marketing Professionals, Architects, Designers and Project Managers met on 23-25. November 2016 for the first IFES Master Class in Cape Town. The event should bring together three days of inspiring presentations, interactive workshops, best practice examples and extended networking! And that’s what it did.
In her inimitable way, Karla Juegel led the event professionally and showed many examples and explain what is necessary to transfer marketing messages into the third dimension. In addition to fantastic and lively lectures by inspiring speakers from a wide range of disciplines, the event offered participants the chance to attend key-note presentations, meet IFES members & friends, interact in workshops at the "No. 1 South Africa Conference Center" in Cape Town.

ISO proposal to develop wide ranging global standards for the exhibition industry falls through
News from UFI: Many of the associations who are UFI members have reached out to them in recent months about the ISO proposal regarding our industry, elements of the project and the voting process. This was also the main item on the agenda at UFI's Association Committee meeting in Shanghai. There, a senior expert from the Chinese Standardisation Agency was available to answer questions about the proposal that originated from China.
A poll among UFI’s association members showed that, when applying the voting rules that ISO applies to its voting process, our industry decided to turn down the proposal. In a letter to the ISO General Secretary, UFI President Andreas Gruchow shared this outcome.
Now ISO has released the result, stating that “the subject proposal for a new ISO committee to develop standards for exhibitions, events and conventions failed to meet the ISO member vote approval criteria for such proposals.  As a result, this activity will not be proceeding in ISO.”
