The meetings stored in the Database are international association meetings (so not corporate or governmental, no trade shows) and must all meet the strict criteria the ICCA Research department uses:

1. Meetings must be organised on a regular basis (annually, biennially etc.)

2. Meetings must rotate between at least 3 different countries

3. Meetings must attract a minimum of 50 participants

We need to have proof that the meetings meet the above criteria.

The aim of the meetings should be exchange of knowledge.
