As AIPC represent an International As\u00adsociation of Congress Centers, it is important to reflect on the results of its annual Survey. In summary, the results of the conference show a solid business growth and development and implementation of new strategies as a response to chan\u00adges in the industry that seeks to satisfy the growing needs of the client.
\nThe foregoing AIPC research was cre\u00adated on the basis of monitoring of industry performances for a period of seven years, which were followed by a global financial instability.
\nIn addition to other relevant factors taken into account while drafting this review, there are two additional ones: safety measures in congress centers, and the role and scope of subsidies as a component of marketing of the congress centers.
So, the key findings of the AIPC\u00a0research 2016 are:
\nConvention centers that implement the innovations, new experiences for users with the capabilities of nonstandard formats of events, taking into constant account the measures of control and security, remain leaders in their field, and can expect even greater growth in the future.

However, for the next year, it is forecasted a twice lower in\u00adcome – only 4.2%.\n\n\nThe strongest regions and markets continue to grow and strengthen\u00a0while the weak become even more weaker.\n\n\nAdapting business innovations \u2013 which was the theme of the AIPC Conference \u2013 have been identified as a major priority of the centers. \u00a0Almost 60% of those have imple\u00admented innovations in their busi\u00adness in the past two years, which has led to the fact that 40% had a new increase in revenue in the same period.\u00a0Australia and North America are\nleading herein with 69% and 67%, respectively.\n\n\nThe sectors most affected by innovations and changes were technology, food and beverage and the client venue experience.\n\n\nEvent organizers are also faced with the changes because the events themselves are changing their format, turning to modern technologies and slowly moving away from the formal structure of the event.\n\n\nMost of the centers is solidly pro\u00advided with appropriate security measures,\u00a0but the least changes were made in this field, which has led to increasing concerns among clients.\n\n\nSubventions \u2013 more than 53% of centers have received this type of assistance in the past five years. However, they are granted in a strategic manner and offered to key customers under certain con\u00additions.\n\n\nThe budgets for the funds tend to withdrawal.\n\nConvention centers that implement the innovations, new experiences for users with the capabilities of nonstandard formats of events, taking into constant account the measures of control and security, remain leaders in their field, and can expect even greater growth in the future.\nThe post Conference Centers: The Adoption of New Strategies and a Solid Growth in Business appeared first on SEE Business travel & meetings magazine.", "date_published": "2016-12-02T13:38:26+01:00", "date_modified": "2016-12-06T16:25:17+01:00", "author": { "name": "Milica Novak", "url": "https://www.seebtm.com/en/author/milicanovak/", "avatar": "https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Milica-Novak.jpg" }, "image": "https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/bigstock-Business-People-Inspiration-Go-80738642.jpg", "tags": [ "AIPC research", "congress centers", "Statistics" ] } ] }
