FFAIR is changing the game in exhibitor and sponsorship management.
Multi-award-winning FFAIR is loved for its ability to drive efficiencies within event teams, automate traditionally labour-intensive tasks and enable organisers to scale quickly and with confidence.
FFAIR was birthed from my own frustrations around exhibiting.
As an exhibitor, I was shocked to discover how complicated the exhibiting process was and understood the bigger threat this posed to the exhibition industry. I realised that there was a much simpler solution. This experience inspired the idea that would later become FFAIR.
Today FFAIR is trusted by over 140+ expo, media, association and corporate teams delivering trade shows and conferences around the world.
