IFE 2024 Call for Speakers

 

Thank you for your interest in being a speaker at the 2024 International Fastener Expo. Since 1981, International Fastener Expo has connected manufacturers and master distributors of fasteners, precision formed parts, fastener machinery & tooling and other related products and services with distributors and sales agents in the distribution chain.

Attendees from around the world will gather September 10 & 11, 2024 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas for a robust show floor experience and educational conference program. We’re calling on industry thought leaders and experts to share insights, skilled knowledge, and practical strategies.

Speaking options include 30 and 45-minute Session Stage presentations, Keynote Speeches, and Fireside Chats.

Are you ready to deliver IFE 2024 attendees interactive industry trends, technology, and technical tracks? If so, we invite you to submit a speaker proposal below to join our speaking faculty.

The deadline to submit a proposal is Friday, April 12, 2024.

 

What We Are Looking For & Suggested Topics

IFE is looking for cutting-edge content and topics that solve today’s biggest challenges in the fastener industry. Proposals are welcome from both well-versed industry experts as well as professionals just beginning to transition to leadership roles. IFE strives to build a diverse group of speakers, reflecting the broad array of industry insights available. Proposals should address any of the following areas:

Applications Regulations, Trades and Tariff Policies
Business Operations Sales and Marketing
Health and Safety E-Commerce/Digital Retailing
Environment and Sustainability Sourcing
Inventory Control and Management Supply Chain
Production Distribution
People and Leadership Tooling and Machinery
Global Challenges and Opportunities (Inflation, Economic Trends, Resilience) Technology

 

 

All topics must be strictly educational and provide actionable ideas. Promotional content related to an individual’s product, company, and/or services violates the conference’s “no-pitch” policy.

 

If selected as an IFE 2024 speaker, you will receive (1) complimentary badge that allows for access to the Welcome Reception and Expo Hall, industry exposure through event marketing support including your name published on promotional material, website, and program, and recognition as a leader in the fastener industry.
