Event Partners

More than meeting and greeting

At the IFA, we recognise that to be effective champions and a voice for the SME community, we need to get out and about regularly – meeting the people who provide jobs and training, run businesses and factories, export goods and services, invest in technology and innovation, and develop and educate talent. Many of the regional seminars and branch events in our own calendar, and those organised by other membership bodies or business organisations, involve collaboration with like-minded partners, with whom we build lasting and mutually beneficial relationships.

Our event partners are listed below. Click on a partner to expand and see more information about them.
