ABOUT IFA The International Fiscal Association (IFA) is the world’s only non-governmental and nonsectoral international organization dealing with fiscal (tax) matters. There are over 12,600 members in the Association. Based in Rotterdam, IFA provides, in conjunction with the activities of each country branch, a blend of comprehensive research on international taxation and the development of programs and initiatives of current practical importance. The Association has a particularly close relationship with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. As the economies of the world are increasingly becoming more interdependent, international tax issues have become more numerous and of greater importance. Each year IFA convenes at selected internationally recognized destinations for its Annual Congress. The Congress provides an opportunity for an exchange of knowledge and experience with respect to tax law. On each occasion delegates have the opportunity to make useful contacts in the tax field both as part of the oficial program as well as in private networking events. The Scientific Program for the 70th Congress will include discussion and debate of some of the most important international tax issues facing corporate and individual taxpayers today. The main subjects of the 70th Congress are: Subject 1: Dispute Resolution Procedures in International Tax Matters Subject 2: The Notion of Tax and the Elimination of International Double Taxation or Double Non-Taxation There will be 10 additional seminar sessions in the 4-day scientific program.

ABOUT MADRID Spain’s capital and largest city, Madrid, is world renowned for its amazing cultural facilities. As the social, economic and political hub of the country it is home to major national and international businesses. It is also well known for its outstanding nightlife and restaurant scene. Madrid offers an unrivalled melange of dazzling art, sophisticated culture and proud history. And let’s not forget about the Spanish FOOD and WINE! Noted for its fantastic array of gastronomical options from markets and tapas bars to Michelin star restaurants, there is something for everyone for every occasion. Delegates can expect warm sunny days and evenings enlivened with Spanish hospitality. The heart of the city is Puerta del Sol, a large plaza serving as the scene of festivals, important gatherings and street performers, as well as a hub for the public transportation network. Another important square is Plaza Mayor, known for its many souvenir shops, cafes and the lively San Miguel Market. Located in the city center are most of Madrid’s most popular tourist attractions such as the Royal Palace, the residence of Spain’s monarch. Included in our congress week will be evenings at some of Madrid’s most celebrated venues, the Museo del Prado, Plaza de Toros Las Ventas de Madrid, Palacio de Cibeles and Teatro Kapital. The capital’s metro system is one of the best in the world. All delegates will receive a “Metro Card” for easy access around the city and to the Feria de Madrid - North Convention and Congress Centre Convention and Congress Centre.

CONGRESS VENUE Located just 3 kilometres from the Barajas International Airport and 30 minutes from the city centre by Madrid Metro, the Convention and Congress Centre is part of the Feria de Madrid complex. This facility is considered one of Europe’s most advanced congress and exhibit facilities with state-of-the-art technology and equipment and hosts on average 80 trade fairs and congresses each year. Our Congress will be held in the North Convention Center and Hall 10 for the Opening Ceremony, Welcome Reception, scientific sessions, exhibits and all food and beverage functions each day.
CONGRESS PROFILE The Congress brings together high level representatives from both the private and public sectors, including the courts, universities, international governmental and non-governmental organizations, and the corporate sector. The partners of the professional firms represented in IFA come from each nation’s most prestigious and successful firms. The Congress offers the necessary forum for experts belonging to different sectors of society, where opinions on topics of international taxation can be exchanged with respect for each other’s background and responsibilities. We anticipate a strong international presence and, in particular, Spain’s financial and business community at the 2016 Congress, due to Madrid’s direct and easy access from throughout Europe and around the globe.

CONGRESS MARKETING Our Congress marketing initiatives are focused on ensuring we build attendance in all of our member segments. Our IFA members will receive email blasts leading up to the Congress directing them to the website for in-depth coverage of all aspects of the program. Save the Date notices and the program outline will be sent to our members in our target markets. Save the Date Cards will be distributed at the IFA Spain booth at the 2015 Congress in Basel, as well as relevant promotions at the IFA USA, Canada, Latin America regional conferences - three of the top attended annual events by IFA members. Our www.ifamadrid2016.com website will feature all elements of the Congress program and a rolling scroll of IFA 2016 sponsors.
NETWORKING ENVIRONMENT Our goal is to provide an enhanced networking environment for our corporate sponsors and delegates. Our special event nights have been planned at four of the most distinguished attractions in Madrid. These venues will give sponsors tremendous brand recognition and opportunity to leverage their marketing initiatives in support of their investment in the Congress.
MUSEO NACIONAL DEL PRADO Our Museum evening will be held on Monday in the Prado Museum: the crown jewel of one of the capital’s most visited tourist attractions and most elegant boulevards: the Paseo del Arte (Art Walk). Set in a magnificent neoclassical building, the Prado houses the most comprehensive collection of Spanish painting in the world, including Velázquez’ Las Meninas and Goya’s Dos de Mayo, as well as masterpieces from the Italian and Flemish schools. The shift from Medieval art to the Renaissance could not be explained without Italian painting, which also had a very strong influence on Spanish Baroque art. The Prado has been the home to masterpieces from throughout Europe since 1819. Its collection comprises 8,600 paintings and over 700 sculptures.

PLAZA DE TOROS LAS VENTAS On Tuesday evening our Cultural Evening will be held at the Plaza de Toros Las Ventas de Madrid. Our event will be held in the main bullring, where delegates will experience a great night of entertainment under the stars. This informal fiesta will give guests a chance to discover Spain’s magnificent cultural and folkloric diversity. Landscapes, colours, music and a taste of the wide gastronomic variety will invite guests to stroll around, sample the cuisine and get to know a country with a rich historical heritage. Opened in 1931, Las Ventas is a beautiful Neo-Mudéjar building, where every bullfighter dreams of glory. Based on a project by José Espelius, who died during its construction, it was completed by Manuel Muñoz Monasterio in 1931 and opened in the same year. Las Ventas holds 23,798 fans and, at 196 feet in diameter, the arena is one of the largest in the world. Constructed in a Neo-Mudéjar style with hand-painted tiles, it houses an important bullfighting museum which illustrates the history of Las Ventas; it also has a chapel devoted to the Virgen de Guadalupe and to the Virgen de la Paloma, patrons of Mexico and Madrid, respectively. The bullring also has an infirmary equipped with the latest technology and two complete operating theatres. Las Ventas Bullring is one of the most important in the world, if not the most important, and it is here that bullfighters either triumph or fail.

Internet stations will also be located in this area. Our Platinum sponsor will have the first right to select an exhibition space, followed by the other sponsor categories and exhibiting companies. PLEASE NOTE: Decisions regarding admission of exhibitors and exhibits as well as the allocation of space are at the sole discretion of the Organizing Committee.

GREEN SPONSORSHIP – 1 AVAILABLE (20,000 EUROS) CARBON PRINT –
GREEN
Large events such as IFA Congress can be major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Electricity, heating and air conditioning, ground transportation, air travel, paper and other materials are just some of the ways that conferences contribute to climate change. However, IFA Congress does not have to have a huge climate impact and, in fact, can play a positive role by becoming lowcarbon or even carbon neutral. Through the establishment of greenhouse gas reduction and offsetting initiatives, the event takes responsibility for its emissions, uses its larger purchasing power and profile to lead in climate change action, and supports the transition to more sustainable energy use. Sponsor benefits include the opportunity to publicly demonstrate commitment to sustainability and to inspire participants to choose low-carbon options in their own lives, as well as saving money through measures such as reducing energy consumption. The sponsor has the exclusive right to have their logo and tag line appear on the Event greening practices and guidelines delivered to each delegate. In order to maximize its greening commitment, the sponsor could set up an onsite sustainability booth to provide information about the event’s greening initiatives, and also issue a press release that discusses the event’s environmental initiatives. Sponsor will be responsible for the costs of exhibition space (see page 9), booth production and press release. These two additional items would be subject to the approval of the Organizing Committee. The Green sponsorship also includes the Entitlements as outlined on page 13.
