And at the same time a modern metropolis, a lively, open-minded, energetic capital that you will encounter with openness.

So become a part of this opportunity to meet colleagues from around the world, discuss new trends, find new partners, enhance your international business: be part of the IFES family, and, enjoy a city dedicated to humanity and the Mediterranean light.
