Rooted in IAPCO’s mission of Unlocking Excellence, this article reflects our belief that advocacy, like education and innovation, is a key to quality — empowering associations to shape policy, protect members’ interests, and build a better future for the meetings industry.
A number of the leading organisations of the global meetings and events industry have joined forces again, to better understand the direct short- and long-term impacts of current global unrest, conflict and geo-political changes and to compare with results from a similar body of research conducted in 2025.
IAPCO, PCMA, ICCA, AIPC, IFES and AMCI have authored this survey to gather data from a combined global network of meetings and events professionals and organisations.
The survey results will be used to understand how geo-political policy changes impact our global industry and to assess their impact year-on-year.
Thank you in advance for your participation and support.
