The past year has been one full of global events with important implications for our industry and that makes this AIPC Annual Conference an even more important gathering than ever.

Mannheim will be a time to share experiences and expertise, as well as a most welcome opportunity to be amongst friends and colleagues as we visualize how the future will unfold. And assisting us in this process will be a high-level group of presenters representing every aspect of the important issues we face.

A special feature of this year‚s event will be joining with our host in a celebration of their 100th Anniversary so we can be assured of a spectacular and meaningful social program as well. Plan now to attend our industry‚s most important gathering, and to renew the relationships that make ours one of the most collegial organizations in the meetings business!
