AIPC Quality Brand Directory

2016 UPDATED EDITION
AIPC: Our Members
Deliver Facility and
Service Excellence
Around the World!
In a world of ever-increasing globalization, confidence and
reliability are the most valuable currency – and that’s exactly
what the members of AIPC, the International Association
of Convention Centres, offer organizers. AIPC is a quality
brand that provides assurance that you can access everything
required for a successful event – which is exactly what you
need in the face of today’s challenging conditions!
AIPC Membership Means Quality:
The Top Ten
Why does AIPC membership represent a higher
quality product? There are a lot of reasons – but
The AIPC network creates
access to global knowledge,
expertise and innovation:
Standards program and a force
that drives long term planning
for member centres.
With more than 175 international centres and over 900
management professionals
in 58 countries around the
globe, AIPC members exchange a world of knowledge,
experience and creativity
in forums designed to share
this wealth for the benefit of
both operators and clients.
AIPC members work with
their communities to ensure
a welcoming environment:
here are ten to think about:
AIPC members document
value and performance:
AIPC members have the best
professional development
resources in the industry:
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.
The AIPC Academy offers
the only comprehensive,
international and centrespecific 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:
Virtually all AIPC member
centres have comprehensive
sustainability policies and
programs in place to make your
event more environmentally
friendly while offering a variety
of program options to enable
you to readily address your own
organizational CSR objectives in
an efficient, cost-effective way.
AIPC centres are committed
to Excellence in Centre
Management:
AIPC members are committed
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 delivering an audited
certification to document
centre achievements.
AIPC members have access
to the latest and best
industry research:
AIPC members listen
to their clients:
Great partnerships make for
a great destination experience
– and that’s why our members
invest in community relations
activities and interfaces that
underline the importance of the
industry to the local community
and connect effectively with
local strategic services. The
result: the kind of welcome
and security 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 carries out ongoing centre
-related surveys and research,
working 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.
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
AIPC recognizes and
rewards quality:
AIPC member centres are your best industry partners for great events,
anywhere in the world. Visit www.aipc.org to access member details and
ongoing information about how and why what we do matters to you!
For over ten years, AIPC has
maintained the AIPC Apex
Award in Recognition of the
Highest Client Rating Received
by a Convention Centre, a
program 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 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!
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.
