Trinity Event Solutions took part in one of these events at The Crown Hotel in Stamford which was supported by 16 people split equally between agents and venues. A welcome speech was given by the chairman of the HBAA and CEO of Trinity, Jacqui Kavanagh. This included the launch of the HBAA code of practice, forthcoming events including the annual forum and an overview of the ‘Big Site Visit Weekend’ charity initiative which aims to raise £100,000 this year.
The networking event started with pre-dinner drinks and followed by a three course meal. Agents were given fixed seating at the dinner table and venues sat at the remaining spaces giving opportunity for networking. After the main course, a seat change for the venues was initiated providing yet another networking opportunity. The event, which took place over a 3 hour period, was very successful and a large number of the Stamford attendees were not local and had travelled some distance. This highlighted the importance that both agents and venues give to the HBAA networking events.
The ‘HBAA Come Dine With Us’ networking event took place on Tuesday 28th April in 13 different locations across the country and was attended by over 200 agents and venues.

Top destinations for association events – the ICCA stats
ICCA’s annual statistics on the number of rotating international association meetings hosted by countries and cities show few changes for 2014.
Paris retains the top rank, with Vienna swapping places with Madrid and moving up from three to two, and Berlin and Barcelona swapping places at four and five respectively.
Vancouver is North America’s top destination for international meetings, ahead of Montreal, Washington and Chicago.
With regular jockeying for position between rival destinations, numerous short-term reasons why space isn’t always available for association meetings and with more meetings still to be discovered by ICCA and its members, these don’t represent any dramatic changes.

ICCA undertook a major review of historical data over the last twelve months, removing all meetings from the statistics which no longer met the strict three-country rotation criterion and clamping down on single meetings which might previously have appeared as multiple separate meetings. As a result the normal levels of growth appear to be slightly reduced, even though ICCA believes that the underlying rate of growth is almost certainly still robust.
ICCA’s international association meetings tables are published every year. To be included, meetings must be held on a regular basis, have at least 50 delegates, and rotate between at least three countries.
