Statistics on the International Meetings Market

The ICCA Data department has been monitoring and analysing trends in international association meetings for the past 30 years. Each year, ICCA produces two statistics reports on the international association meetings market. The following reports were published in 2009: "ICCA country and city rankings 2008" (published on 15 May 2009 for ICCA members and on 18 May 2009 as a general press release) "The International Association Meetings Market 2008" (published 25 June 2009) "The International Association Meetings Market 1999-2008" (published 31 July 2009) The reports are only available to members in the My ICCA section.  Non-members can download an abstract for non-members of the ICCA Statistics Report. This publication (in PDF) contains only the highlights of the full ICCA Statistics Report (country & city rankings), and provides background information on ICCA, the ICCA Association Database and ICCA Membership benefits. This publication is produced for non-member press, universities, consultants and other potential ICCA members, and students.
