Registration open now! The UIA Association Round Tables promote, facilitate and enable expanded dynamism in the work of international associations. In each of their varied and attractive locations, the Round Tables focus on structured training, educational and networking opportunities. They are famous for opening up the mind and the senses to local cultural events; they invariably provide outstanding food and beverage experiences.

The Round Tables bring association participants into friendly and productive contact with Convention Bureaux and with leaders of significant international institutions.

The UIA is delighted to invite you to:

• the 9th UIA Associations Round Table Asia-Pacific which is planned to take place as a hybrid meeting on 21 and 22 October 2021 at the Congres Square Nihonbashi in Tokyo. Host Partner: Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau (TCVB)
  
• the 14th UIA Associations Round Table Europe which is planned to take place as a hybrid meeting on 18 and 19 November 2021 at the Prague Congress Centre. Host Partner: Prague Convention Bureau
  

Questions about the Round Tables, or about joining us as a partner?

We are happy to hear from you!

Join us for 10 minutes! The Union of International Associations (UIA) invites you to participate in its extraordinary COVID 19 Impact Survey.

The COVID 19 pandemic has a tremendous impact on the global travel and meetings industry and on the meetings behaviour of international associations. This special UIA Survey 2021 - COVID 19 Impact on International Association Meetings explores the impact of the pandemic and the consequences for the future of association events.

The Survey has 19 questions, 15 of these with multiple choice answers, and takes about 10 minutes to complete. You will be able to choose the language of the Survey: English, French or Spanish.

The Report will be released on 18 November 2021 at the annual UIA Associate Members Meeting in Prague and be freely available to the public on the UIA’s website.

All participants will receive a PDF of the final report.

Travel & Tourism. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) in conjunction with the industry has created a self-certified Safe Travels Stamp. This Safe Travels stamp allows travellers and other Travel & Tourism stakeholders to recognise destination authorities and companies around the world that have implemented health and hygiene protocols that are aligned with WTTC’s Global Safe Travels Protocols.

The Safe Travels stamp does not indicate the level of COVID-19 in a destination. Destinations and companies are requested to use the stamp responsibly.

Use of the stamp does not imply any relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship by, WTTC.


The Safe Travels stamp is free to use and is available to:

• Companies involved in Travel & Tourism (non-WTTC members)
• International or national-level Travel & Tourism industry associations
• WTTC Members
• Public destination authorities (national, regional, and municipal governments)

Rankings & Trends. The Report provides two views of a sector now facing multiple challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic; data for meetings in the year 2019 are presented in full, the “last good year” before the crisis, in addition to an analysis of what took place in 2020.
