The IFE website was moved to ExpoCMS for the last 4 months of the 24 month cycle leading upto IFE15 with pageviews for those 4 months increasing by 165% compared to the entire 24 months of the cycle leading upto IFE13.

The full 24 month cycle leading upto IFE17 saw pageviews increase a further 45%, representing an overall increase of 270% for a full cycle using ExpoCMS compared to the previous website provider.

One Exhibitor contacted us to say this about his experience of IFE:

We are exhibitors and users of the website for the IFE exhibition. What a pleasant surprise it was to find an easy to navigate, intuitive website with the capabilities and scope to upload and present our company to its best advantage.

We have uploaded multiple images on individual product pages and highlighted our presence which has resulted in numerous viewings and contacts from potential clients.

I particularly liked the prompts and easy to use interface, It was also easy to find your way back to the home page if we decided to explore the comprehensive information which if you want it, is all there.

We have received over 8,500 hits on our profile and products to date which has impressed.

IFE provides as both a face to face and online marketing channel, representing enormous value to our business.
