IAEE has teamed with ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, to help exhibitions and events professionals safely and effectively return to the face-to-face business environment amid the challenges presented by COVID-19, as well as other infectious diseases, through a training course designed to prepare for, respond to and recover from biohazards in the workplace. The GBAC Fundamentals Online Course teaches participants the principles behind infection and contamination control measures for infectious disease outbreak situations such as the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).
Geared toward busy professionals who are looking for cost-effective educational opportunities with no downtime or travel expense, IAEE provides new and exciting webinars, led by highly respected industry experts, directly to your desk.

Central to the MATSO Council culture is ensuring a wide-open exchange of ideas to foster discovering solutions, networking with other senior-level show professionals, guiding new strategies and policies, sharing ideas and making a difference. Each year a MATSO event will be selected to host IAEE-MATSO programming. In addition, programming will take place through webinars and at Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition. A complete schedule of events will be updated as they are identified.
IAEE’s Women’s Leadership Forum has been designed to focus on topics that are unique to women in the exhibitions and events industry. It is tailored for all women regardless of age, individual situation or current position held within their company. The forum will provide knowledge and strategies for attendees to succeed in their current positions, as well as motivation and inspiration to take your career to the next level. The Forum will give you the tools and resources while balancing life along the way.
Each year we partner with IMEX America and IMEX Frankfurt to provide educational and learning opportunities for both faculty and students including the Faculty Engagement program, faculty reception and scheduled appointments on the show floor for students. In addition, faculty will have the opportunity to submit a Best Practices paper that will be presented at both IMEX America and at Expo! Expo!
Debuting at IMEX Frankfurt in 2018, She Means Business was created in partnership with tw tagungswirtschaft. Speakers from European Astronaut Centre, SAP, re:publica, German Bundeswehr, UBS and the UN will address the issues facing women today. Through conversation, collaboration and learning, we believe we can shed new light on an old debate. Check out the amazing speaker line up and programme.
