ICCA UK and Ireland Chapter’s Chair Kerrin MacPhie says: “As the global meetings economy strengthens and membership increases there is no better time to meet to discuss how we can best support our members to maximise their business opportunities.
“This meeting has been brought about by Liverpool playing host to the first ever IFB, giving ICCA and other key industry associations a great reason to meet.”
