IRF Events: Attendee Qualification Form
Thank you for your interest in attending an IRF event as an invited attendee. The IRF is excited to partner with our industry colleagues and suppliers to deliver high-quality, education-focused events that uncover new and trending industry topics and research in addition to unique networking opportunities with your industry peers.
Important Information and Reminders
Please use this form to complete and submit your attendee qualification information. To ensure top-quality networking, all potential buyer attendees must have an application on file before receiving an invitation to the event.* Your answers should reflect your individual involvement, role and overall spend within the meetings and incentive travel industry. Responses should not reflect the overall spend of your company or business. All official communications and invitations to register will come from registration@theirf.org. Please make sure this email address is on your "safe" list to guarantee receipt of your event application status and registration information.
Invited Participation Qualifications
Typically, invited buyer attendees have at least $1 million USD in spend annually as an individual in the incentive space (to include travel, meetings, gift cards, merchandise), hold a title of Director (or equivalent) and above, and are directly involved in the execution and planning of meetings and incentive travel programs (not just sourcing). Your qualification form should reflect information based on your current role in the industry and your individual responsibilities within your role.
*Submission of qualifications through the IRF buyer attendee application does not guarantee an invitation to the event. Once your qualifications have been reviewed, you will receive an update on your application status from the IRF. If approved, you will need to complete a separate registration profile to guarantee your space.
For questions, please email us at registration@theIRF.org. This information will be kept confidential and will be used to verify applications. Please call the IRF at (703) 651-8189 if you would like to speak with someone directly to provide verification information.
