Dear AIPC Member,
As we approach the end of 2025, I’m inspired by the energy and innovation within our AIPC community. Every day, members are shaping the future of our industry through collaboration, creativity, and excellence.
Looking ahead, membership fees will see a modest 5% increase starting January 2026. This adjustment allows us to strengthen programs, expand education, and enhance global representation—ensuring AIPC continues to lead our profession.
We have an exciting line-up of events: the Operational Excellence Summit in Barcelona, the New Zealand Academy in February, our flagship Academy in Belgium in April, the Sales & Marketing Summit in May in Frankfurt, and our Annual Conference in Bilbao (28 June–1 July 2026). Each promises learning, networking, and inspiration.
Excellence remains central to all we do. Join us on 23 September for the AIPC Quality Standards webinar, a chance to deepen your understanding of our operational benchmarks. Our Education Committee and Working Groups in Production, Sales, Sustainability, and Cyber are already driving momentum. If you’d like to get involved, please reach out to Sven or myself—we’d love to hear from you.
This edition also highlights remarkable member achievements: Brisbane’s 30 years of sustainability leadership, QSNCC’s global recognition for “Waste Not, Delight More”, and HUNGEXPO’s most recent Congress Hall transformations with Gala Systems.
Finally, if you have news to share with the community, please contact Sara at secretariat@aipc.org—we love showcasing your achievements.
Thank you for your ongoing dedication and contributions. Together, we are shaping the future of conference centers worldwide.
Julianne Jammers
President of AIPC
