The Global Congress Centre Alliance, a partnership of five international convention centers launched last year, met in May at EIBTM in Geneva. All members of the International Congress and Convention Association, (ICCA), member centers include the International Convention Centre Duban in South Africa, the John B. Hynes Convention Center in Boston, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Adelaide Convention Centre in Australia, and the CCH Congress Centrum Hamburg in Germany.
The goal of the alliance is to have one convention center on each continent, located in a big city. All member centers share the same high quality standards and services. To that end, it was decided at the recent meeting that member centers will share technical and/or marketing/sales staff. For more information e-mail cminternational@1online.de.
