The company organizes national and international trade fairs, conferences, forums, seminars, and festivals across verticals including industrial (oil & gas, plastics, metals via Metalex/Sitex/Isfahan Plast), construction (Buildexpo, Road Construction), consumer goods (Home Furniture, Textile, Shoes/Leather), hospitality (Tourism, Termotec, Coffee), and emerging sectors such as AI, digital transformation, biotechnology, and green energy via the Fannama, Autocom, and Fannema exhibitions.

IPIECo operates the Isfahan International Exhibition Center (IIEC), a modern venue launched in November 2021 on Parvaresh Highway in Isfahan, with proximity to the airport, central train station, and customs. The venue is supported by a Tehran business development office.

The company holds UFI (Global Association of the Exhibition Industry) and AFECA memberships and is certified by Iran's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Commerce (MTIC).

Revenue is generated from three professional-services streams: exhibition organizing (booth/stand fees, exhibitor and visitor registrations), venue rental at IIEC, and trade delegation services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market combines direct website sales, an active social media presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Telegram, Eitaa, Aparat), and an international agent network — including SHOWMATE Expo Service Co. Ltd. in Shanghai for the China market — alongside partnerships with bilateral chambers of commerce (Iran-Oman, Iran-Turkey, Iran-Iraq) and the Isfahan Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture.
