Familiarisation (FAM) tours and receptions are excellent opportunities to promote your organisation to event attendees. With the flexibility to tailor every event element, reinforce your brand by making it unique and memorable.
FAM tour organisers may determine all logistics, conditions and costs associated with their tour, including which event participants are accepted to join, and which are not.
ICEF will not get involved in the organisation of FAM tours, but simply ensure relevancy for event participants as well as an equal representation of tours to all delegates.
All delegates interested in attending FAM tours will be asked to make direct contact with the tour organiser. Organisers are responsible for confirming or declining acceptance directly with participants.
FAM tour organisers wishing to promote their tour through ICEF are required to submit a proposal. All proposals are subject to approval by ICEF.
FAM tours may only be offered outside of event related activities and times.
