ICCA Association
Expert Seminar (AES)
11-13 May 2024 | Frankfurt, Germany
This was the ICCA Association Expert Seminar 2024!
This year, our goal was to build on the event's previous successes by providing our delegates with opportunities to deepen their understanding of the objectives of associations and suppliers in event delivery. We were thrilled to have participants from 38 different nationalities joining us for the Association Expert Seminar 2024!
The Association Expert Seminar serves as a vital platform where association executives and ICCA members can gather to share knowledge, network, and collaborate on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of association meetings. This year’s sessions covered a range of engaging topics, including solving mysteries, creative solutions, and navigating uncertainty.
This seminar provides a unique chance for suppliers to gain insight into client objectives and business cultures, while association executives learn negotiation skills and the goals of suppliers. This mutual understanding fosters stronger and more productive business relationships for both parties.
PROGRAMME
For the Association Expert Seminar 2024 you can look forward to a hands-on and thought provoking educational programme that will inform and inspire. Get ready for an exciting programme of dynamic sessions.
