Match & Meet by IFE – It’s not over yet!

Last year, the pandemic and its resulting impact and restrictions made it impractical to hold the 2020 edition of the International Fastener Expo in Las Vegas. Committed to deepening industry connections and education, IFE held the first digital event of its kind on November 11 – 12, 2020. Match & Meet by IFE featured education and networking opportunities through a proven AI-powered platform. The digital event’s success was marked by great participation from partners, exhibitors, sponsors and attendees.

By the numbers, within the two days…

  • Over 500 attendees and 60 exhibitors came together
  • 3,800 total connections were made
  • 8,500 messages were exchanged
  • over 700 meetings and video calls were completed

The conference agenda of 10 sessions featured industry professionals who presented on a variety of topics including product standards and materials, new technology and industry trends. Sessions kicked-off with The Fastener Training Institute discussing distributor quality assurance.

“As our first virtual event, our team recognized the importance of producing an exceptionally strong conference schedule that would captivate our audience and create excitement.”

Morgan Wilson, Show Manger, International Fastener Expo.

The content and insights from Match and Meet are not over yet! As part of the platform, sessions are available to view on-demand until mid-2021.
