 The ICCA represents the world’s leading suppliers in handling, transporting and accommodating international meetings and events, and comprises over 1,000 member companies and organisations in almost 100 countries worldwide.
Established over 50 years ago, ICCA specialises in the international association meetings sector, offering “unrivalled data, communication channels and business development opportunities”, according to a press statement.
The ICCA membership will “reinforce the positioning” of DECC as a leading venue and Qatar as a global MICE destination in the Middle East, the DECC management said in the statement. “We look forward to working with the ICCA and our partners to bring high-profile conferences to Qatar in the future.”
By joining the ICCA network, DECC becomes part of the global community and knowledge hub for the international association meetings industry.
