IFEA Hall of Fame - Honoring Achievement in our Industry

Great people, great careers and the ability to look past what's "good enough" and focus on making everything "better than it has to be" - that is the spirit behind the IFEA Hall of Fame.

Known as the association's most prestigious honor, the IFEA Hall of Fame recognizes those outstanding individuals who, through their exceptional work and achievements, have made a significant contribution to the Festivals and Events Industry and a profound difference in the communities they serve, both locally and internationally.

Induction into the Hall of Fame is considered the highest of industry honors. Selected from a group of their industry-peers, inductees join the prestigious ranks of 59 others inducted into the hall over the past 26 years.
