ABOUT US

How it all began

ISES (International Special Event Society) was founded in 1987 with the aim to achieve exceptional service through in-depth training and advanced vocational education, and to cultivate and encourage ethical behavior and high business standards. This was done with the conviction that it is crucial for industry professionals to see the success of an event as a unified whole rather than a juxtaposition of individual parts.

In the meantime, worldwide, there are over 7,000 members in 45 chapters that are convinced of the ISES method and actively use this network. Event specialists from various sectors of the profession meet regularly to exchange ideas and establish new business relationships, thereby extending the scope of their business. Caterers, event planners, decorators, audio-video suppliers, coordinators of parties and conference centers, educators, journalists, hotel and event managers plus many, many more.

With the help of this solid peer network of ISES, our members are able to enthuse their clients with a positive working relationship and impress them with exceptional services.
