Dear Associations of the World...

Look out for the next instalment of our #UnlockingExcellence campaign launching soon.
In this campaign we will speak directly to the clients of our IAPCO members – the associations who are shaping industries, advancing knowledge, and serving communities worldwide.
This campaign, called Dear Associations, is designed to raise the profile of IAPCO Accredited members within their client base.
Our purpose is clear: to demonstrate the real difference IAPCO Accredited Professional Conference Organisers (PCOs) make. From conferences to communities, their impact is significant and measurable.
What will we be doing?
Running from late September through December 2025, the campaign will feature a dynamic creative concept based on a letter design. This will be applied across marketing, social media, PR, member assets, editorial and a physical presence at IBTM.
Stay tuned for more information.
