07-08-22

The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) is releasing new information to shed more light on how the pandemic affected the association meetings industry in 2021. The public summary of ICCA's annual statistics report is now available to non-ICCA members after a one year. year hiatus.

Due to the transformative events of 2020, ICCA refined its reporting approach by including meetings that were affected by the pandemic as well as those that were not. Now, non-ICCA members can also benefit from this new methodology, called the Destination Performance Index (DPI), which provides a more holistic view of how destinations have addressed recent challenges.

In addition, Public Abstract presents the top destinations for association meetings in 2021, based on the estimated total number of attendees for hybrid and virtual events. It also provides a three-year economic impact analysis, which is generally not available to non-ICCA members.
