Policy Forum

Where the meetings world and public policy makers connect


Focusing on redefining the impact of business events on destination eco-systems—our Policy Forum brings national and city policy makers, association leaders, destination innovators and industry thought-leaders together to discuss and influence the future direction of business events through policy making and strategic destination management.


The IMEX Policy Forum is organized in collaboration with the International Association of Convention Centres (AIPC), City Destinations Alliance (City DNA), Destinations International, German Convention Bureau (GCB), the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) and U.S. Travel Association, under the auspices of Events Industry Council (EIC) and the Joint Meetings Industry Council (JMIC).
