apac-awardICCA Asia Pacific Growth & Innovation Award

The ICCA Asia Pacific Growth & Innovation Award celebrates national associations that have successfully brought a regional conference to their destination through a competitive bidding process and transformed it into a catalyst for organisational growth, innovation, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

This prestigious award celebrates national associations that demonstrate clear progress in expanding revenue, generating new business opportunities, and strengthening delegate and partnership engagement, while advancing their field through innovative approaches and impactful outcomes.

It also acknowledges the commitment behind these achievements, recognising the local organising committees and wider association communities, often made up of experts across diverse sectors, who take on the responsibility of bidding for, hosting, and delivering conferences. These collective efforts, shaped through multidisciplinary collaboration, reflect a shared commitment and contribution to advancing knowledge, strengthening connections, and supporting both economic value creation and broader sector and societal development.
