Partnership and Contributors

The CEIR Foundation is uniting all audiences committed to providing viable solutions for the future of the exhibitions and events industry. The Foundation is a means for industry stakeholders such as corporations, associations, organizations and individuals to work together and be proactive in advancing the exhibitions and events industry. With your participation, the Foundation will be able to fund initiatives that deliver true value and fulfill its mission: to ensure the success of the exhibitions and events industry as the premiere marketing medium by supporting research, promotion and education.

"When we heard that 100% of the IAEE staff was supporting the Foundation, I knew our organization needed to join them. As an industry we must work together to ensure we marginalize any downside so we are well-positioned for the upside."

- Richard Maples, Vice President of National Sales, Shepard Exposition Services
