OUR VISION

Our vision expresses our place in the world. It captures our reason for being and defines our direction as an association. Members are part of an industry that is essential, creative and communicative.  As creative events professionals we are looking to learn, to connect, to be inspired, to belong and above all be a part of something special, something valued.

WE ARE THE PRINCIPAL ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING THE CREATIVE EVENTS PROFESSIONAL, GLOBALLY.

OUR VALUES

Our brand values are a set of principles that we believe in; that define who we are, what we do and how we do it. Our brand values also help us to craft what we say and how we say. Each of our values are communicated internally throughout the organization and carefully explained. We tell people what our values mean to them and how they can share them.

OUR CORE VALUES ARE:

  • CREATIVITY

  • INSPIRATION

  • TEAMWORK

  • EDUCATION

  • RELATIONSHIPS
