About International Fastener Expo (IFE)

How do you get to International Fastener Expo (IFE)?
From Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)
- The free PHX Sky Train links the airport terminals, the Rental Car Center and Valley Metro Rail at 44th and Washington streets

Arriving at the Phoenix Convention Center
- The organiser asks attendees to use the 3rd Street entrance (100 3rd St) to enter the West Building, where registration is down the escalators
- The exhibit hall is below the West and North Buildings, so you can park in either the West Garage (185 N. 2nd Street) or the North Garage (475 E. Monroe Street)
- Garage spaces are first come, first served at posted daily rates
- No one under 17 is allowed on the show floor, with no exceptions, and proof of age is required
How do you get around during International Fastener Expo (IFE)?
Getting to the expo each day
- The organiser says that if your hotel is not within walking distance of the convention centre, Lyft, Uber or a yellow cab is the recommended way in
- Downtown Phoenix hotels keep the commute short and put the evening restaurants and bars close by
- Badges are not mailed: you print yours on site with your registration confirmation, much like a boarding pass
- Strollers and wheeled bags larger than 18 by 12 inches are not allowed on the show floor, so leave large cases at the hotel
Around Phoenix
- Valley Metro Rail connects with the airport Sky Train at 44th and Washington streets; check Valley Metro for current routes and fares
- Tempe hotels suit a quieter base, while Scottsdale is better reached by taxi or rideshare
- The organiser points visitors to the Desert Botanical Garden, Papago Park and the desert trails if you have spare time
- Social events such as the Golf Tournament, the Welcome Party and Fastener Fest are added to your show registration
Do you need a visa for International Fastener Expo (IFE)?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Check the current US entry rules for your passport before you travel, on the official US government websites
- Citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries may be able to visit for business with an approved ESTA instead of a visa; US Customs and Border Protection recommends applying as soon as you start planning
- You must hold an e-Passport, with an embedded chip, to travel under the Visa Waiver Program
eVisa / visa required
- If your country is not in the Visa Waiver Program you will normally need a US visitor visa from a US embassy or consulate, so check local wait times early
- The organiser generates a visa invitation letter for attendees who request one when registering; exhibitors can request one once their stand is paid in full
- An ESTA or visa does not guarantee entry: US Customs and Border Protection officers decide admissibility on arrival
Documents to carry
- A passport valid for your whole stay, with your ESTA approval or visa linked to that passport
- Your IFE registration confirmation, which you need to print your badge on site
- Your hotel booking and return or onward ticket, in case the border officer asks
US entry requirements, fees and processing times change often, so verify the current rules on official US government websites or with your nearest US embassy before booking.

Insider tips from repeat attendees
- 2026 was IFE's first year in Phoenix, so check that any older travel notes or calendar entries point to the Phoenix Convention Center
- The expo is only two days, so book supplier meetings ahead and use the summit day on Wednesday for conference sessions
- SourceGlobal brings together more than 350 international factories, worth a separate block of time if you import or source overseas
