Event Planning Best Practices Identified by CIC

Thursday April 26, 2007

For several years, the Convention Industry Council, which is a federation of national and international organizations involved in meetings, conventions, exhibitions and travel and tourism, has been working with industry representatives to develop and implement voluntary standards that streamline communication, planning and execution of programs.

APEX, "Accepted Practices Exchange," is the result of that effort and includes several best practice tools that those involved in events may use to effectively execute responsibilities. So far, this includes an online industry glossary and templates for event specifications, housing and registration, post-event reporting, RFPs, and even a web-based planning tool.

I will look more deeply into these various tools and share information with you in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, learn more about APEX.
