Driving Excellence Awards

IAPCO is committed to raising standards of service among all sectors of the meetings industry by means of continuing education, interaction, and recognition of professionals.

As part of this commitment, IAPCO has created a programme of Driving Excellence Awards to recognise excellence within the IAPCO member community.

Nominated by IAPCO members, IAPCO Driving Excellence Awards are presented annually and have long been coveted by those who seek acknowledgement for their quality and contribution to the meetings industry by IAPCO.

Every year, IAPCO seeks nominations from across its member community for 3 unique awards.
