Las Vegas, NV – Join more than 650 exhibitors and over 4,500 attendees at the 2023 International Fastener Expo at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV this October 9-11. The longstanding and largest B2B Fastener event in North America will once again convene for 3 days of networking, education, and inspiration.
Morgan Wilson, show director, enthusiastically announced details for the upcoming show. “We will have over 100 new exhibitors participating at IFE this year, 35+ from North America and 65+ internationally,” Wilson said. “IFE is focused on growing and diversifying our event to better serve the entire industry. We’re excited to be building upon our specialty fasteners, industrial products, machinery, technology, and other categories.”
Beyond the Exhibit Hall, there are various networking events that offer industry professionals the opportunity to connect with their peers. Whether you prefer to hit the links at the IFE Golf Tournament at the Bali Hai Golf Course on Monday, October 9, or head to the Daylight Pool at Mandalay Bay for the fun-filled Welcome Reception Party that evening; there is plenty of special networking events at IFE 2023!
Before the official opening of the Exhibit Hall on October 10, keynote speaker Jake Hall, the Manufacturing Millennial, will take to the stage to dive into the topics of technology, innovation, and how to get your current and future workforce excited about these advances in the industry. The education continues with numerous sessions, panels and Fireside Chats. This new Fireside Chat format is an engaging discussion that takes place in the IFE Lounge and is driven by interactive conversations, real-life experiences, as well as Q&A.
IFE 2023 will also feature a full-day class presented by Fastener Training Institute and expert instructor Carmen Vertullo, and the celebratory tradition of inducting the 2023 Hall of Fame and Young Fastener Professional winners at the IFE Awards Ceremony.
“This is going to be one of the largest IFE events in over 5 years!” Wilson said. “The Fastener industry remains strong, and we’re thrilled to help unite the community once again. Our team strives to continue providing the most relevant education, networking opportunity and maximize the return on our attendees’ key objectives.”
