"IFFS is a must-attend event for film festivals of all sizes. Whether your fest is two years old, or 20, working with a budget of $20,000, or $2 million, EVERY FEST, no matter how big or how small, walks away from this conference with new friends, new ideas and an energized outlook on the future of film festivals!!"
Robin Laatz, Director, San Diego Film Festival
"The International Film Festival Summit is the only time each year I get to hang out with my peers: fellow festival planners, programmers, directors and producers and talk about the business of planning a film festival.."
Gabriel Wardell, Executive Director, Atlanta Film Festival
