Idea International has earned the EDPA Certification designation, the first company outside the U.S. to do so. Exhibitors who find shows in the APAC region on their schedules can feel secure in choosing to partner with Idea International since this certification means Idea International’s business practices meet very stringent standards including ethical practices, experience and participation in the exhibit industry, fiscal responsibility, and operational methodology. The program is administered by a division of BPA Worldwide, an international auditing organization.
“As anyone whose schedule includes global exhibitions knows, having confidence in your on-site team is a major concern,” said Christopher Dorn (pictured right), president, Idea International. “Our motto has always been, ‘Peace of Mind, Half a World Away,’ and the EDPA Certification underscores our 13 year commitment to transparency, consistency, and high standards for our design and fabrication capabilities.”
Jeff Provost, executive director of EDPA, added, “We congratulate Idea International on this achievement and hope that this will encourage other international partners to pursue certification.”
Idea International delivers innovative exhibit solutions that create a lasting impression on the APAC markets. Idea International was launched to demystify exhibitions and trade fairs in countries like Japan, Korea, China, Thailand, Australia, and Singapore. In other words, to provide peace of mind to exhibitors who found themselves a half a world away from their comfort zones and familiar exhibition practices. For more info, visit www.idea-intl.com.
