Meetings and conference organisers will discuss crisis and risk management, with particular focus on Iceland’s volcanic eruption, at a summit to be held in London later this month.
Also on the agenda will be ways to attract international business to the UK and Ireland and the role of technology in future meetings structure, including the use of iphone apps for congresses.
For the first time the Summer Summit is being collaboratively organised with support from the Association of British Professional Conference Organisers (ABPCO), the Meetings Industry Association (MIA) and the Association of Irish Professional Conference Organisers (AIPCO).
Speakers include representatives from Congrex UK, ABPCO, AIPCO, MCI, Kenes UK, MIA, HRG, Hiscox, VisitBritain, Visit London, VisitBrighton and Visit Manchester with a keynote from Arthur Leathley of Virgin Trains.
Tickets are available at £135.00 to members of ICCA/ABPCO and MIA, while tickets for non-members are priced at £195.00. Further details can be found at www.iccaworld.com/dbs/UK-Ireland
