The ICCA conference provides high level education and exceptional networking opportunities that can play a powerful role in delegates’ future personal career development. The conference is designed to stimulate strategic thinking and to consider the ways in which our industry is likely to evolve, and the economic, technological and societal changes that are driving this evolution.

Becky Rowlands and Sian Gilmartin described their experience as, “the most incredible event we have ever been to”. Becky and Sian explained that the conference has helped with their studies and has provided unique networking opportunities. We are so pleased that the UK Centre for Events Management continues its strong relationship with ICCA as it extends the school’s network with event professionals from around the globe”.
