For three decades, CIPS has grown alongside industry professionals, partners, and friends from around the world.

As CIPS celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026, we are launching the CIPS 30th Anniversary Recognition Program to reconnect with those who have been part of this journey and celebrate the people and stories that have shaped the development of CIPS over the past three decades.

From long-standing partnerships and memorable moments on the show floor to meaningful connections built throughout the years, every story reflects a valuable part of the CIPS journey.
