I recently had the chance to attend a Roundtable conducted by the International Association of Conference Centers. The purpose of the Roundtable was for the group to discern what some of the important features in a conference center. This was quite a learning experience for me. I wasn’t really sure what it meant to be a conference center.
The event was held at the Rizzo Conference Center. And although AENC has held quite a few events at the Rizzo and I wasn’t sure what distinguished it as a conference center.
The IACC set forth guidelines on approved conference centers, for example state that an IACC conference center offers and actively promotes a package plan which includes conference rooms, guest rooms, three meals, continuous refreshment service, conference services and conference technology. Non-residential package includes conference rooms, lunch, continuous refreshment service, conference services and conference technology. Wondering what other guidelines set a IACC approved conference center apart from others? You need to take a moment and visit the IACC critera.
If you are ready to check out an area conference center, visit the IACC member directory. In addition to the Rizzo, the Washington Duke and the Harris Conference Center are both members of AENC.
Thanks again to Joe Blake with the Rizzo for hosting the IACC Roundtable.
