Internationality. Tradition. Future Trends.

This is what people say

„While it is certainly a long way from New Zealand the quality of the speakers, the content of their presentations, the organisation by yourselves and the sheer scale of the FSB made the trip extremely worthwhile and has given us much to ponder and consider going forward.“

Julian Todd

„From what I observed, the quality of the presentations and attendees was of the highest nature. I really appreciated the international forum that IAKS offers with the exchange of work, ideas and your beautiful publication. It allows us to learn from each other and realize how much we all share in common.“

„I learned a huge amount which will stand our business in good stead as we evolve our plans“
