The International Congress and
Convention Association (ICCA)
published its annual rankings for cities
and countries for the organisation of
large association conferences.
This much awaited list, while of
course not comprehensive and the
be all and end all (there are corporate
meetings to consider, as well as delegate
numbers and a whole host of other
factors too), provides an interesting
barometer for destinations.
The host location, valuable to
consider, is but one part of an association
meeting (and those that want more
detail on the ICCA rankings I’d advise
to read our full coverage in Conference
& Meetings World magazine and
on c-mw.net). There are issues of
registration campaigns, abstract collation
and ePoster matters - discussed by our
friends at Shocklogic on p21; while
the big money elephant in the room
of event sponsorship is talked about by
Slingshot and the CIM on p.18.
We also present more expert opinion
and case studies for all active in this
market to get the very best advice and
insight to help do their jobs better, as
well as organising better conferences.
