IACC, the
international association for business event venue operators, has built a new
website featuring a new AI-driven venue-finding tool designed to make
the search process faster and more accurate for event planners.
The new
platform, believed to be the first of its kind created by an association, lists over 400
IACC-certified hotels, resorts, conference venues and experiential venues in 18
countries.
As well as
providing a quick search function for planners, the new-look website hosts case
studies, research and other practical resources for venue operators.
IACC CEO, Mark Cooper said the site had been overhauled to improve the search function for event planners. Its 2025 Meeting Room of the Future
report had reinforced the importance of matching the right venues and events
with over 200 meeting planners identifying the host venue as the number one
factor influencing the success of their events.
“With our new website and the launch of what we believe to
be the first AI-driven, globally available venue finder created by an industry
association, we are putting a smarter, faster, and more accurate sourcing tool
directly in the hands of meeting professionals worldwide,” he said.
Nancy Lindemer, global chair of IACC, added: “What makes
this launch truly special is the people behind it. Across our global network,
IACC members and colleagues have helped shape not just the narrative but the
very functionality of this new website.” gs.com
