ICCA and BestCities Global Alliance are excited to announce that the 2023 Incredible Impacts Programme is now open for submissions. The project aims to promote and celebrate the impressive legacy initiatives of association meetings.
The Incredible Impacts Programme recognises international association meetings that are delivering a proven impact. New this year, only one exceptional winner will receive a USD $20,000 Incredible Impacts Grant, while another association will kick-start their legacy programme with a USD $5,000 Incredible Impacts Seed Fund Grant.
Interested parties can submit their proposal by:
– 4 September 2023: Incredible Impacts Grant
– 22 September 2023: Incredible Impacts Seed Fund Grant
ICCA CEO, Senthil Gopinath says: “We want to celebrate the best of the best and raise the stakes to a ‘winner takes all’ scenario because the stories our associations are telling – and the legacies their initiatives are leaving – thoroughly warrant a solo moment in the spotlight. By bringing Congress attendees into the final judging process raises the impact, value, kudos, and ‘wow’ factor to the Incredible Impacts win.”
BestCities Global Alliance Managing Director, Loren Christie adds: “We are thrilled to introduce the latest evolution of the Incredible Impacts Programme, which not only recognises associations demonstrating innovative thinking and creativity to achieve impact but inspires others to incorporate legacy initiatives into future events. We are also pleased to provide support to associations eager to implement a legacy programme.”
