IT Professionals

Join your fellow IT Professionals as a member of IAEE. The technology membership task force is working to enhance the benefits and resources of the IT professional, which helps you meet your internal and external client’s expectations better and more efficiently.

As technology continues to become even more fundamental to the execution of the business of exhibitions, increased involvement of technology leaders within the industry is extremely valuable to all stakeholders. Although there are existing IAEE members that hold technology positions within member companies and associations, this represents a relatively small percentage of total technology leaders throughout the industry.

As a trade association, IAEE membership is with the company. Your company may already be a member of IAEE. Contact us today at membership@iaee.com or complete the create account information here. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
