IAPCO at IBTM World 2025: Three Days of Energy, Insight and Collective Momentum

At IBTM World 2025, IAPCO delivered a powerful mix of pop-up education, strategic advocacy, hosted buyer engagement, award recognition and on-stand collaboration—all focused on unlocking what’s next for our community.
Pop-up sessions on AI, innovation, sustainability and legacy brought practical, future-focused insight to the show floor, with contributions from Members Hazem Nabil (ICOM Group) and Antonella Nalli (Triumph Group International), and Partners Herson Engcoy (Snapsight) and Alexander Alles (JMIC). Together with Stockholm Business Region, Meetagain and Nordic Hotels & Resorts, we also unveiled a first look at IAPCO EDGE Stockholm 2026 and its theme, “Bridging Minds: A Collaborative Innovation Journey.”
IAPCO contributed to the Association Leaders Forum and presented the IAPCO Collaboration Award 2025, supported by IBTM, to MCI Australia
