IFEA Africa

Founded in 1956 as the Festival Manager's Association, the International Festivals & Events Association (IFEA World) today is ‘The Premier Association Supporting and Enabling Festival & Event Professionals Worldwide.’ In partnership with global affiliates under the umbrellas of IFEA Africa, IFEA Asia, IFEA Australia / New Zealand, IFEA Europe, IFEA Latin America, IFEA Middle East, and IFEA North America, the organization's common vision is for "A Globally United Industry that Touches Lives in a Positive Way through Celebration." Toward that end, we now also count “IFEA Academia,” providing a common home for students, faculty and institutions around the world who share a festival and event management focus and a common goal of preparing future industry leaders; a forum for important industry-related research and discussions; and an effective junction of the academic and professional pathways of our industry.
