Frankfurt/London. In its ongoing campaign to attract international Associations to hold events in London, Visit London announced at IMEX that the Associations Conference Forum (AC Forum) has chosen the capital city to host their 2010 annual general assembly. The AC Forum is Europe’s only networking platform established exclusively for and by associations with in-house congress staff.

With 23 members, the Association represents some of Europe’s leading medical associations including European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD); European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO); European Society for Cardiology (ESC); European Society of Radiology (ESR); International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP); European CanCer Organisation (ECCO) and World Dental Federation (FDI).

Commenting on the choice of London, Luc Hendrickx, President of AC Forum said: “The Associations Conference Forum meets in January every year in a different European city. For 2010, we selected London as the venue for the General Assembly and an intense two-day working meeting. As one of the positive effects of London hosting of the 2012 Olympics, AC Forum members are keen to learn how the congress and events industry can benefit from the Games.” www.visitlondon.com/associations, www.acforum.net
