Wherever on earth your event rotation may take you,

you’ll find the highest quality of facilities and services

are associated with members of AIPC, the International

Association of Convention Centres. It’s a quality brand that

can give you a head start in accessing what you need for

a successful event – and securing the confidence that you

need when faced by today’s challenging circumstances!

AIPC: Excellence in Centre ManagementAround the World

2015 UPDATED EDITION

The AIPC Apex Award designation identifies those centres with the very special distinction of achieving the highest client rating for service and facility quality of any centre in the year for which they received their award – an even higher level of recognized excellence amongst AIPC members.

There are a lot of reasons why AIPC membership means a higher quality product for you, your organization and your delegates.

Here are ten to think about:

Why AIPC Membership Means Quality:

The Top Ten

AIPC members have the best professional development resources in the industry:

The AIPC Academy offers the only international centre-specific comprehensive educational experience in the industry, with intensive programs that incorporate input from both industry experts and key client groups in order to make the connection between current issues and corresponding best service practices.

AIPC members deliver extensive sustainability credentials and options:

98% of AIPC member centres have comprehensive sustain-ability policies and programs in place to make your event more environmentally friendly while offering a variety of pro- gram options to enable you to readily address your own or- ganizational CSR objectives in an efficient, cost-effective way.

AIPC centres are committed to Excellence in Centre Management:

All AIPC members are commit- ted to Excellence in Convention

Centre Management – it’s the reason they’re members! And now, the AIPC Quality Standards program – the only centre specific management process system in the industry – is deliv- ering an audited certification to more centres than ever.

AIPC members can access the latest and best industry research:

AIPC carries out ongoing centre-related research and works with other industry organizations to access the facts and analysis that enable them to better understand client issues and help you to develop innovative solutions.

AIPC recognizes and rewards quality:

For over ten years, AIPC has maintained the AIPC Apex Award in Recognition of the Highest Client Rating Received by a Convention Centre, a pro- gram that not only recognizes top-rated centres around the world but provides member participants with an exhaustive assessment of strengths and weaknesses they can act on for further improvement.

The AIPC network creates access to knowledge, expertise and innovation:

With more than 170 interna-tional centres and over 900 management professionals in 56 countries around the world, AIPC members ex- change a world of knowledge, experience and creativity in forums designed to share this wealth for the benefit of both operators and clients.

AIPC members document value and performance:

AIPC members understand the importance of providing hard performance measures in support of their claims, whether this is in service areas or the documentation of economic benefits, and have access to a variety of tools to assist them in achieving this.

AIPC members listen to their clients:

Client feedback is the most important vehicle for measuring performance. That’s why customer feedback and improvement loops are an

integral part of the AIPC Quality Standards program and a force that drives long term planning for member centres.

AIPC members work with their communities to ensure a welcoming environment:

Great partnerships make for a great destination experience – and that’s why our members invest in community relations activities that underline the importance of the industry to the local community. The result: the kind of welcome your delegates want and deserve throughout their event.

AIPC members recognize and support the industry value proposition:

As industry professionals, one thing we all share is the need for greater awareness of the value of what we do for our participants, from association professionals to corporate managers. AIPC member centres make this kind of communication a priority – and that helps create a better future for all of us!

AIPC member centres are your best industry partners for great events, anywhere in the world. Visit www.aipc.org for ongoing information about how and why what we do matters to you!

The AIPC Quality Standards logo identifies centres that have earned special distinction by having been audited against a rigorous set of management criteria designed to ensure high quality in all areas of venue operations – your guarantee of a dedication to top performance!
