The International Association of Conference Centres (IACC) has elected Alex Cabañas, CEO of Benchmark Hospitality International, as its global president, it announced yesterday. Cabañas, who serves as vice president of the IACC-Americas chapter, will serve a two-year term as head of the association.
"IACC is a global community of people and meeting venues committed to delivering exceptional meeting experiences. We lead the small meetings industry and create trust with meeting planners and our clients through the delivery of the most productive meeting environments available." Cabañas said. "Perhaps most importantly, our members support and learn from each other. There is a kinship within IACC like no other association that I've been affiliated with. It is a privilege to step into the global president's role and support the continued growth of IACC."
Added outgoing Global President Peter Stewart, "Alex comes to the role of global president after a significant contribution at a global level, where IACC has developed a strategy for the future, through IACC 2.0. He comes to his new role with great enthusiasm and is very well placed to lead the association over the coming years."
