Convention centre partners work closely with IAPCO Member PCOs to ensure clients benefit from optimal environments that enable collaboration, innovation, and impactful event experiences.
Frankfurt’s position as a major global meetings hub, combined with Messe Frankfurt’s extensive venue expertise, makes this partnership particularly valuable for the IAPCO community. The renewal reflects a shared belief that strong, mutually focused relationships between PCOs and destinations are fundamental to achieving outstanding outcomes for meetings and events worldwide.
