IACC Meeting Room of The Future Barometer Report – 25 April 2022

IACC is pleased to present a ground-breaking report that combines research and insights into the recovery of IACC venues, demand cycles, labour influences and important trends being seen as we bring venues back to 2019 operating levels.

87 hotels and venues from three continents responded to IACC’s survey, allowing us to identify and deliver actual data and predictions for the pace of the recovery, whether you are a marketed hotel or conference venue or a corporate conference and meeting venue.
