This was AIPC 2019
Показать описание
Calling this year’s conference a unique edition is an understatement. Attendees were able to experience for themselves what Flanders Meeting and Convention Center Antwerp in fact truly is: A Room with a ZOO.
They participated in inspiring social activities such as a morning run in the magical, sleeping ZOO, a morning Tai Chi session and a gastronomical aquarium experience. They also enjoyed a diamond cocktail and one very lucky attendant even got surprised with a real diamond.
A lot of delegates were not yet familiar with Antwerp as a meeting destination and many of them fell in love with the city’s magnificent railway station, architecture, food, local beers and, of course, the ZOO. Conference attendees could discover Antwerp during a city walk. They attended a Belgian beer reception and enjoyed Belgian waffles during the Award Dinner on the evening lit Flamingo Square.
Marshall Dallas – Edinburgh International Conference Centre
"This year’s AIPC conference has been the best yet. This is my fifth conference. The venue is absolutely amazing. It’s stunning. The food offering has been fantastic. I really enjoyed it. Really good."
Aloysius Arlando – AIPC President – Singapore EXPO Convention and Exhibition Centre
"Antwerp is simply beautiful. Flanders Meeting & Convention Center Antwerp is simply unique. What A Room with a ZOO. Such a refreshingly, innovating concept."
Mala Dorasamy – AIPC Host 2020 - Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre
"It’s been a fresh new perspective in terms of not having everything indoors. Bringing nature into it and I think that’s part of the way conferencing is going. That people don’t want to sit in the room. You want conferences to be more interactive. You want different food and more networking opportunities."
Mark Taylor – Queen Elisabeth II Centre London
"The staff was brilliant. Food’s been great and I think what people really appreciated is it’s very unique location. The central location where everything is walkable to. It’s very compact and rather than getting into lots of busses it’s a real benefit to be so compact."
Anna Clover – Queen Elisabeth II Centre London
"AIPC this year has been absolutely amazing. The venue. The location and all its CSR involved is just fantastic. There is nothing like it that I ‘ve seen before."
Robin miller – Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre
"The materials used in the architecture are just fantastic. I love that we spend a lot of time in the Atrium space and I love the fact that that was open towards where we had our catering. Quite unusual for our venues but I think that more venues should be doing this honestly."
James Reese – ICCA President – ExCeL London
"AIPC is an event I always like to attend. But I’ve been really looking forward to this particular edition. I’ve heard for some years now all about A Room with a ZOO. Now I’ve seen it first hand. Here we are in this amazing setting. We have the fabulous weather off course. It is a great venue and I can now, having been here, understand why the team have positioned the venue in such a way because it does offer something different. It allows us to, perhaps with the environment that we sit in, to open our minds to different ways of thinking. So I really do think a great setting for AIPC and of course for any conference."

Scientists are convinced of nature’s role in our overall feeling of happiness. Nature nurtures the soul, inspires and connects. That is what the FMCCA offers, a conference centre surrounded by nature, tropical animals and the most beautiful garden.
