Working towards IFF LA, we have been incredibly grateful for the support we have received from all aspects of the North American live industry, in particular our agency and commercial partners. That so many of the world’s top live entertainment companies have got behind the event is proof of what IFF LA can bring to the market.
However, we are increasingly being made aware that the global conflicts in 2026, as well as the huge jump in travel and other costs, are making it difficult for many domestic and international delegates to attend. Additional feedback from some of our festival partners has also highlighted that the September dates are challenging for them, with a number tied up delivering their own events.
So, we have decided to move IFF LA to 2027 with a new date to be announced following further consultation with the industry in the coming months. We remain confident that there is a place for IFF LA in the North American festival business, and so do our partners. However, as the event exists solely to serve the needs of festivals, agencies and the wider live industry, we want to ensure it delivers the greatest possible value at the right time.
We look forward to sharing more details about IFF LA in the coming months.
