Annual IFEA Europe Conference- 180 delegates participated!

 

The IFEA Europe Annual Conference 2008 was recently held in Reykjavik. 180 delegates from Europe and North America met in the islandic landscape and spent 3 days of learning, reflection and dialogue about the being and future of the festival and public event industry.
