ICCA Chapters

The ICCA network not only enhances co-operation between members of the same profession in the Sectors, it also enables them to work together with members - regardless their Sectors - in the same geographical areas. For this purpose Chapters, National and Local ICCA Committees have been formed. This element of the ICCA structure is based upon regional similarities in business matters such as marketing, market research and education. During recent years one aspect has dominated this regional co-operation, particularly at National and Local level: the concerted promotion of the region as an attractive destination for international meetings.
