IFEA Event Resource Marketplace

(online resource)
Imagine a Google style search engine that is aimed towards global suppliers within our industry! Now imagine that by being a member of the IFEA you get a free listing. Then, for a few dollars more you can get a premium listing that allows prospective customers to literally know all about your product or service within moments...all this and you can control every aspect of the look and content of the listing anytime you want!

This is the power of search engines, the most successful and revenue generating element of the web since the development of the web itself! The IFEA's special agreement with MultiView, the team behind the Event Resource Marketplace gets you at the center of attention for customers looking for what you do or provide.
