IFEA

Description

For as long as anyone can remember, people have celebrated. Celebration itself is perhaps the most common denominator that we have, crossing all barriers of race, religion, ethnicity, age, politics, economics, education and geography. We celebrate birth, life and death; discovery, victory, and remembrance; history, new beginnings, and patriotism; food, shelter, and family; where we come from, who we are, and what we believe; careers, achievements, and milestones; music, agriculture, sports, military prowess, children, love, hopes, community, beauty, talent and peace on earth. The need to celebrate seems inherent in everything we do and touches virtually every life on the planet.

Over time, those celebrations have changed. From often informal affairs, to spectacular productions requiring new sets of skills, experience, creativity, tools, financing, planning and leadership. Celebration has evolved into a business and an industry, with professional standards and expectations, academic programs and educational certifications, and with new demands and challenges every day.

Extrapolating from recent IFEA member surveys, the special events industry, globally, is estimated to include some 1 million regularly re-occurring events (including community festivals, parades, fairs, air shows, sporting events, carnivals, car shows, art shows, flower shows, corporate events, balloon rallies, First Nights and more) large enough to require municipal support services, with an estimated combined economic impact in the hundreds of billions of dollars and combined attendances that touch virtually every life on the planet.
