IAPCO AM&GA Mumbai 2027: Registration Opening Soon

Explore IAPCO’s New Global Maps

IAPCO has launched two new global maps, designed to make it easier for members and industry stakeholders to connect with trusted organisations across the international meetings landscape.

The first, the IAPCO Global Community Map, is an enhanced evolution of the previous IAPCO Member Map. Building on that original resource, it now helps users identify and connect not only with IAPCO Accredited PCOs around the world, but also with IAPCO’s wider network of partners. Searchable by region and country, it offers a practical way to discover trusted experts, strengthen business connections and explore opportunities across IAPCO’s global community. 👉 Explore the map

Alongside this, IAPCO has also introduced the Global Pharma and MedTech Compliance Map. This resource provides a comprehensive overview of compliance-related organisations that support the delivery of medical and MedTech congresses in line with relevant guidelines and requirements. It has been developed as part of IAPCO’s broader compliance strategy: first, to help members connect more easily with the relevant national, European and international compliance bodies; and second, to strengthen IAPCO’s advocacy in this area by building visibility, engagement and dialogue with those organisations over time. 👉 Explore the map

Together, these new maps reflect the strength, reach and strategic value of the IAPCO network, while offering practical tools to support collaboration, compliance and professional excellence.
