Overview

Mission

To provide educational learning opportunities to international association of conference centres members and others with the purpose of personal and professional development in running conference venues.

What it reported doing in 2024

The 43rd edition of the annual members conference took place at the verizons conference center at basking ridge, New Jersey, continuing the journey of rebooting and reinventing live meetings. 220 iacc members and industry friends attended over the 3 days and welcomed new members, with record first-time attendees experiencing the value of investing in creative innovation and leadership. A number of industry giants delivered a variety of workshops and intimate discussion groups and the event directly involved students from New York university who served as volunteers and ran a breakout session.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
