Annual Conference. Along with our ongoing senior level management updates and issue exchanges, this year’s AIPC Annual Conference from 3 to 7 July will feature an executive theme with implications for centre managers everywhere. Expansions, renovations and new facility development are becoming ongoing functions of a large proportion of convention centre management activity, as rapid changes in the industry generate increasing levels of such activity in order for centres to remain competitive. This year’s AIPC Annual Conference in Liverpool’s Arena and Convention Centre will incorporate the concept of “Project Development – Start to Finish”; a comprehensive look at the process of facility development from initial planning through government and community relations and actual project management.
