IAEE > MEMBERSHIP > Membership Dues
 

When an organization pays dues to IAEE, it becomes the "member." Dues are based on factors other than number of individuals. Therefore, all exhibition and event industry staff can enjoy the benefits of membership without additional financial consequences.

All IAEE dues categories enjoy the resources of local chapter membership and membership in the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR).

Dues Category Definitions:

1) Industry Member:  Organization, other than Event Facility Member, engaged in the exhibition and event industry (hereinafter referred to as "industry"), and is located or does business primarily in North America. Dues are based on Annual Exhibition and Event Revenues derived from the industry. This classification receives one vote per member organization.

"Annual Exhibition and Event Revenue" is defined as income received from your exhibition(s) and event(s), or if a supplier, revenue related to the industry, for the last completed fiscal year.

Show and Event Organizers:  For those shows or buyer-seller events owned by an organization, include exhibition and event revenue related to each show/event owned. If shows are only fee managed, include only exhibition and event revenue that is recognized by the organization (i.e. management fees, etc.).

Suppliers:  Include all related revenue from sales, rentals, leases, etc., as well as service revenue (manpower).

CVB's:  Use annual operating budget in support of the exhibition and event industry, as basis for dues calculation.
