Union of International Associations releases 66th International Meetings Statistics ReportThe Report provides a global view of international association meetings.
The Union of International Associations (UIA) is excited to announce a new, customizable service designed to meet the unique needs and interests of professionals, institutions, and organizations around the world. With this paying service, users can name any city or country, and UIA will provide a comprehensive report on international association activity specific to that location.
The meetings organized by international associations are many and varied, from world-wide congresses to regional assemblies. The situation is gradually becoming clearer after the impact of the pandemic and the cancellations forced on the sector, but conditions have yet to return to the levels of 2019. The advent and spread of virtual and hybrid formats may make permanent changes to the way conferences are run.

As Korea’s second-largest city, Busan is increasingly gaining attention as a MICE destination on the global stage. Offering beautiful seaside environments, rich cultural heritage, and unique venues, Busan leaves international visitors with lasting memories. This year has seen new additions to the lineup of Busan Unique Venues. Are you looking for a space that will make for a unique event? Want to have the most “Busan experience” possible during your stay?
Busan’s MICE industry has matured significantly since the opening of BEXCO, the city’s landmark MICE venue, in 2001, and the establishment of the Convention Bureau in 2005. To be recognized as an expert in any field, one typically needs at least 20 years of experience, and this principle applies to national industries as well. With over 20 years of history, Busan’s MICE industry is now in need of a renaissance.
