The International Association of Exhibitions and Events® (IAEE) and the Canadian Association of Exposition Management (CAEM) have entered into an agreement to extend their offerings to members of both organizations in the interest of advancing the exhibitions and events industry in their respective regions.
“IAEE and CAEM have enjoyed a collaborative relationship through its facilitation of the CEM Learning Program for exhibitions and events professionals in Canada for many years now,” said IAEE President and CEO David DuBois, CMP, CAE, FASAE, CTA. “This agreement expands upon that relationship, and we are looking forward to serving as an asset to each other’s memberships.”
CAEM is the national association for Canadian professionals involved in the production, management and planning of expositions and events. Its success can be attributed to its dedicated members, stakeholders and staff. CAEM has the capacity and resources to provide industry-specific services and programs tailored to meet the needs of event professionals including: signature events for targeted education and networking, health and safety best practices and courses, professional courses leading to the CEM Designation, and access to industry-specific suppliers and services.
“CAEM has benefited from its relationship with IAEE to provide courses and training, resulting in more Canadian exposition professionals earning their official designation,” said CAEM President Catherine MacNutt. “We are eager to identify and explore new opportunities for members of both associations to bring even more education and resources to our members. We’re positioned to align our goals even further and do great things together.”
