The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) has formally endorsed IMEX America, following its successful second edition earlier this month in Las Vegas. IMEX America joins IMEX Frankfurt in Germany, and EIBTM in Barcelona, Spain, as the only meetings industry events with ICCA status. ICCA limits its endorsements to trade shows that are genuinely global in terms of exhibitors and buyers and which actively involve a high proportion of ICCA members around the world. EIBTM 2012 runs Nov. 27-29.
