All Education Has Value, But Not All Education Takes You Further.
Trade shows introduce you to what’s possible—IAPEG teaches you how to master it.
There’s nothing wrong with trade shows and workshops—they spark ideas, introduce trends, and keep you connected. But if you’re serious about deepening your expertise and standing out in this industry, you need more than just surface-level learning.
IAPEG’s Certificate Day Programs go beyond quick tips and demonstrations. They give you structured, science-backed, career-changing education—the kind that makes clients trust you, industry leaders recognize you, and your skills truly set you apart.

SORRY! Trade Show Seminars Do NOT Count.
Trade shows are Professional Development, NOT Continuing Education. If it’s not structured, science-based learning, it doesn’t qualify.
