IJV-IFAS, a non-profit organisation founded in 1946, specialises in organising trade fairs, congresses and events for professionals as well as consumers.

IJV stands for “Internationale Jaarbeurs van Vlaanderen” ( “Flanders International Trade Fair” ), while IFAS is the acronym for “International Fair and Congress Services”. Today, IFAS, a former independent daughter company, and IJV have now successfully joined forces in one private non-profit organisation.

The group mainly organises events for its own account, but it also puts its expertise and staff at the disposal of third parties as an independent and neutral partner.

As a prominent member of Febelux and UFI*, IJV-IFAS is a leader in the Belgian and European trade-fair sector.
