The buoyancy of the corporate meetings market finds its echo in the trends noted in the association conferences market in 2011. With the ongoing creation of considerable numbers of new professional associations, from the Society of Robotic Gynecological Surgery to the European Network for Hyperkinetic Disorders, for example, the market for such events is expanding. Between April 2011 and November of this year, the Union of International Associations added over 500 organisations to its database, about 200 of which run regular conferences.


One source clearly indicating the positive direction being followed in the market for association conferences is the INCON Annual Survey of the Global Association Conference Market. INCON is a partnership of the world’s leading conference organisers and event management companies, with members operating in 36 countries worldwide.
