> *Andre Timmins, Co-Founder of IIFA, expressed the vision behind the initiative,* saying, “For many years, I have felt there was a need for a space within our industry that goes beyond red carpets, formalities and commercial agendas, a space where people can genuinely come together to connect, exchange ideas, discover new perspectives and simply enjoy meaningful conversation in a relaxed and inspiring environment.
> With IIFA Connex, that vision begins to take shape. It is designed as a contemporary meeting ground for the creative community, where entertainment, fashion, media, business, music, culture and innovation naturally intersect. A place where established voices and emerging talent alike can engage openly, collaborate organically and build relationships that may inspire the future.
> The idea is not to create another industry event, but rather to curate an atmosphere and community people genuinely want to be part of, one that encourages thought, creativity, networking and cultural exchange without pressure or pretence. Somewhere conversations can flow as naturally as the environment itself.
> IIFA has always believed in building bridges through cinema and culture, and IIFA Connex is an extension of that philosophy in a more intimate, progressive and contemporary format. We want it to evolve into a recurring hub for creative thinking, collaboration and connection across industries, while still feeling warm, enjoyable, relaxed and socially engaging for everyone who walks into the room.”
