Our People

One of IACC’s greatest resources is our depth of knowledge as thought leaders in creating successful outcomes and experiences for small to mid-sized conferences, meetings and training.

IACC COMMITS to educating and sharing ideas across our membership and the industry at large on the importance and value of embedding social responsibility into the overall meeting experience. 

Our Community

Healthy and vibrant communities are at the heart of everything we do, each one contributing to our global network.

IACC COMMITS to improving the communities where we meet, through support of:

1. Diversity, inclusion and equity

Environment

Given our role as the world’s leading collection of leading meeting and training venues, IACC is committed to having an influential global impact by creating and supporting sustainable practices and developing strategies for eliminating food waste. Further, we must share these changes across the business events industry, working toward creating a higher standard for hosting events by enhancing the environment everywhere we meet.
