【About Association】

ICCA has rolled out the welcome mat to associations with the launch of the ICCA Association Community yesterday, a move that brings all major stakeholders in the world of association meetings into its embrace.

ICCA’s president James Rees said in a press statement: “The launch of the ICCA Association Community will integrate associations with our membership, helping to shape ICCA’s future and provide opportunities for ever-closer collaboration.”

By joining ICCA, associations will have full access to resources such as Association Meetings Intelligence, ICCA’s events, peer-to-peer networking, and thought-provoking education and expertise.

Associations will also be able to make their voice heard – in ICCA’s global community for the international meetings industry – on how their association and meetings will make a difference in the future.

ICCA’s CEO Senthil Gopinath is “delighted that ICCA has managed to create a new platform to officially include associations in its midst”.

Thomas Reiser, executive director of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis, said peer-to-peer sharing and learning were critical for the success of international associations’ activities, and being able to perform these activities at ICCA events and with the community of destination partners would be “even more beneficial to our joint efforts to professionalising the way to collaborate in planning and executing successful events”.
