The ICCA UK & Ireland Chapter Conference will go to Leeds in 2025 the association announced during the closing session of this year’s event in Belfast.
The 2024 conference was attended by a record breaking 145 delegates from across the ICCA community as well as 25 local students.
Themed ‘Embracing Resilience and Competing for Change’, the conference aligned itself to the UNSDGs, and included a keynote by SistersIN, a leadership programme empowering female students. The conference, hosted by Visit Belfast and Belfast ICC, explored greenwashing across the sector during its Big Debate.
There was a gala dinner at the Titanic Experience which raised £725 for ‘Changing the Menu for Good’.
Suzanne Singleton, ICCA UK & Ireland Chapter chair said the conference had provided “a platform for networking, learning, and planning for the future in a rapidly evolving market. As we look forward to the 2025 conference in Leeds, we will be looking to build on what we achieved this year in Belfast, focusing on the foundations of resilience, innovation, and change that characterised the 2024 event. We will also be looking to engage the University community to further our outreach of our future talent.”
The 2025 ICCA UK & Ireland Chapter Conference will take place, 26-28 February, in Leeds.
