The IACC (International Association of Conference Centers) certification is a seal of excellent quality that is trusted by meeting planners and hospitality professionals worldwide. IACC serves its members by being the global leader in the meetings industry and currently has over 400 members in 21 countries in America and Europe.
To Become An IACC Certified
To become an IACC certified venue, members must demonstrate a commitment to the highest standards in design, facilities, and services – as well as meet technology criteria. Potential venues must go through an application process to ensure the standards set by the association are met. This is what sets IACC certified venues apart from other meeting facilities and why they are ranked in the top 1% of small and medium sized meeting venues in the world.
Both of our facilities adhere to these special standards set forth by IACC, which makes us the ideal venue for all your offsite meeting needs.
