 Scope of this report

ICCA Statistics

This tailor‐made report is created with the ICCA Destination Comparison Tool, available to ICCA members only in the My
ICCA section. Download the following publicly available ICCA Statistics Reports from the ICCA website:

A public version of ICCA’s annual statistics report .

Snapshot

Readers should note that this report is a “snapshot” of qualifying meetings in the ICCA Association Database as sampled
in May 2019, and that future statistics may be amended as ICCA becomes aware of additional qualifying meetings.

Criteria

The ICCA Statistics Reports are based on the ICCA Association Database, which means the figures cover meetings
organised by international associations which:

1. take place on a regular basis

ICCA’s Association Database is designed as a sales and marketing resource for its members to target future international
association meetings, which is why it does not include one‐off meetings or those which do not move between locations.

Calculation average participant numbers

In order to make the analysis based on participant numbers as broad as possible, average participant numbers have
been added where confirmed actual attendance data was lacking, based on a formula which gives more “weight” to
recent meetings ﴾future & past﴿ compared to meetings which are “further away”.

Data presentation

All data presented in the tables in this report is sorted by the data in the last column by default, displayed in bold font. In
the tables the “standard competition ranking method”, the most commonly used ranking method, is used. When a year
range of more than 10 years is selected for this report the data is aggregated and displayed in 10 columns, in order to
show the big trends. Note that you can run multiple reports to do detailed analyses.

Liability

ICCA makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of this material, but cannot be held liable for errors, misprints or out of
date information in this publication. ICCA is not responsible for any conclusions drawn from this report.

 Number of meetings

The total number of meetings per country/territory or city could be higher than the total number of meetings in the same year, because some meetings take place in
more than one destination.
These graphs and tables are based on all meetings of which the relevant data is known.
ICCA destination rankings by number of international association meetings are ranked according to the "standard
competition ranking method". See for background information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking .
