International Fastener Expo 2026 Enters a New Era
International Fastener Expo (IFE), North America’s largest fastener trade show, today announced a new chapter for the event and the fastener community it serves. Under the new brand theme, “The Power Behind the Build,” IFE 2026 will debut a rebrand, a new host city in Phoenix, the inaugural International Fastener & Assembly Summit, expanded show floor features, refreshed networking experiences and new leadership under Show Director Kayla McGarry.
The updated IFE brand and newly launched website reflect a broader focus on the role fasteners play across manufacturing and supply chains. The theme, “The Power Behind the Build,” positions the event around the products, partnerships and technical expertise that keep critical industries moving. For the fastener community, the rebrand signals more than a visual change. It reflects IFE’s continued investment in serving the people and companies that drive product quality, sourcing decisions and supply chain performance.
