Last March, the ICCA (International Congress & Conventions Association) chose Marbella Congress, Fairs and Exhibitions Centre to celebrate the Iberian Chapter Annual Assembly, which gathers more than 1.000 firms of the sector coming from 90 different countries.
During the congress, new trends in the sector were taken down, highlighting the Meeting Design, where the key, as former president of the assembly and current director of the Convention Bureau, Francisco Quereda says, “lies in the design of the meeting or programme taking into account the assistants, This is done by interviewing them and basing the design of the programme on the results of those conversations, plus the organizer’s interests.”
