Other Tools
ICCA Big Data Search
In 2014, ICCA launched Big Data Search, giving members access to detailed information on local association representatives and the people best placed to support international association meeting bids. It also introduced the ability to identify leading academics connected to an association’s areas of expertise and interest.
Since then, ICCA’s data capabilities have continued to evolve, becoming an increasingly sophisticated intelligence tool for identifying patterns, understanding association activity and uncovering new business opportunities.
Today, Big Data helps ICCA members turn insight into action, supporting smarter prospecting, more informed bidding and stronger business development.
ICCA Business Analytics Tool (BAT)
The ICCA Business Analytics Tool (BAT) draws on more than 60 years of association meetings data, giving ICCA members a powerful way to explore meeting activity and identify new business opportunities.
Members can generate detailed reports at city, country, regional and global levels, filtering meetings by year range, meeting size and subject matter. The tool also enables comparisons between up to five cities or countries, helping members benchmark destinations and identify market opportunities.
Beyond providing valuable intelligence on associations and competing destinations, the ICCA BAT can help members turn data into action by informing more focused marketing, sales and bidding strategies.
