Here’s a statement from Steve Schmader, CFEE, President & CEO of the IFEA, about this exciting partnership:
“As we track the trends and issues across the global festivals and events, we have been disappointed to find far too many headlines in recent years covering sexual misconduct at events (in-house and on-site). And while the most prominent media coverage is usually focused on the larger music festival niche of our industry, the reality is that sexual misconduct can happen at events of all types, genres, and sizes, just as it can within all size businesses, corporations and organizations.
The IFEA believes that our collective industry, together, must take proactive steps to address this growing concern, while protecting the brand and image of all events, assuring employees, volunteers, attendees, sponsors and all stakeholders, that our events and the organizations behind them have chosen to live by and provide the highest standards of respect, dignity, safety and security possible.
