Advocacy, Innovation, Legacy, DEI & Sustainability

ICCA places Advocacy at the heart of its mission, equipping members with the tools to champion the value of international meetings. Through its Global Advocacy Initiative, ICCA engages policymakers, local communities, and industry stakeholders to amplify the role of events in driving economic and social progress. Education, strategic communication, and best‑practice sharing are the foundation of this work.

Innovation keeps ICCA and its community agile and competitive.

With Legacy, ICCA focuses on the long‑term impact of association meetings. 

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) is a core advocacy pillar. ICCA nurtures inclusive environments by sharing best practices, elevating diverse voices at events, and launching education resources. 

Sustainability guides ICCA’s environmental and social commitments. As a founding partner of the Net Zero Carbon Events Roadmap and ally of the Global Destination Sustainability Movement, ICCA promotes sustainable event management, carbon reduction, and knowledge transfer across its global network.

These five pillars collectively affirm ICCA’s position as a forward‑thinking leader dedicated to meaningful, inclusive, and lasting impact in the global meetings industry.
