The Destination Partnership programme at IAPCO was created in 2013 to better align IAPCO member PCOs with leading Convention and Visitor Bureaux (CVBs) around the world. It was identified that through the facilitation of stronger collaborative dialogue and opportunities, PCOs and CVBs would be in a much more strategic position to drive success for their mutual clients.
Since then, the Destination Partnership Programme has grown to include 13 CVBs from around the globe, each providing unique opportunities and solutions that ensure the long-term success of the association and corporate business and professional events industry.
Individual IAPCO destination partners have reported that the economic impact of business events they have won and those in the pipeline directly through IAPCO members can reach well over 300 million euros, through the term of their partnership with IAPCO.
IAPCO Council held their mid-year Council Meeting in Geneva in June of this year. While there, Council members met with local meetings industry and government stakeholders, experienced some of the meeting venues and services in the city and conducted a strategic stakeholders engagement programme. This first-hand experience further confirmed the professionalism and offerings in and around Geneva.
