APEX Forging Ahead
The Convention Industry Council announced that it has unanimously approved accepted practices for the first two of the Accepted Practices Exchange initiatives: Terminology and History/Post Event Reports.
CIC approved the terminology section's APEX Industry Glossary, which includes 3,780 entries covering everything from food and beverage to speakers and exhibits.
The CIC also approved the History/Post Event Reports' accepted practices on the how's and what's of post-event reporting. They are clearly outlined in the APEX Post-Event Report Template.
In addition to these two areas, APEX is addressing resumes and work orders; requests for proposal; housing and registration; meeting and site profiles; and contracts. City discussion groups continue to meet throughout North America. Don't miss an opportunity to have a say in the accepted practices our industry will eventually adopt.
