IFEMA (short for Institución Ferial de Madrid; "Fair Institution of Madrid") is an entity charged with the organisation of fairs, halls and congresses in their facilities in Madrid.
It is a consortium partnered by the Ayuntamiento de Madrid (31 %), the regional administration of the Community of Madrid (31 %), the Madrid Chamber of Commerce and Industry (31 %) and the Montemadrid Foundation.[1][2]
The first fair organised by Ifema took place in 1980. Until then Madrid did not celebrate fairs, as it was a privilege reserved to cities such as
Barajas Airport in 1991.[4]
FITUR,
MOTORTEC, ARCO and the Madrid Fashion Week
are some of the fairs organised by IFEMA.
The facilities of IFEMA also served as the venue of 2022 NATO Summit. In March 2020, some halls of the Campo de las Naciones facilities were repurposed to serve as a 5,000 bed field hospital during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
