Presentation Overview
• Study Background • Literature Review• Research Aim• Method• Results• Where to Next?
Study Background
• ICCA approached VU as a member university to conduct a cooperative research project
• Given the lack of studies on ambassador programs and the role ‘ambassadors’ play in bidding for international meetings and events, it was jointly determined to undertake exploratory research in this area
Literature Review
• No academic studies exist on ambassador programs• Limited studies on bidding for events by convention
and visitor bureaus (Getz, 2003)• More work on bidding for major/mega sporting
events, though still limited• ICCA has produced a guide titled Congress
Ambassador Programmes as a ‘how to’ booklet• Limited other intelligence related to the topic
Research Aim
To identify the motives of ambassadors in becoming active
bidders for international association meetings and conventions
Method• Online survey administered in October 2012• The questionnaire instrument was refined with
feedback from ICCA• Three programs surveyed
– Club Melbourne, Melbourne– Sarawak Convention Bureau Ambassadors Conference
Scholarship Program, Malaysia– Al Safeer, Dubai
• Response rate: 19%, 54 respondents to date• Preliminary (topline) results presented here
Results
Demographic Profile of Respondents
•Gender – 63% male; 37% female•Education – vast majority of respondents (89%) had a postgraduate qualification•Work status – vast majority (78%) employed full-time
Results
• Age
ResultsMembership Profile of Respondents
•Even mix of respondents across all programs, although relative to total ambassador numbers per program, Malaysian respondents are over-represented in the returned sample• The majority of respondents (51%) had been members of their program for less than 2 years; 37% members for 2-5 years
Results
The majority (67%) had attended one event/function or more hosted by their program in 2011
Results
Ambassadors actively attend international meetings and events (32% attended 7 or more)
Results
The majority of ambassadors (61%) were actively bidding for international meetings and events
Results• Respondents who had been involved in bidding for
an international meeting/event in the past 2 years, were asked, in reference to their most recent bid, whether or not it was successful.– 77% - Yes– 23% - No
• These respondents were then asked using a 7-point scale their reasons for participating in the bid(1 = Not at all important; 7 = Extremely important)
Results
Results• Regardless of past bidding activity, all
respondents were asked on a 7-point scale (1 = Not at all important; 7 = Extremely important), what factors they considered important when bidding for an international meeting/event
• They were also asked about their future bidding intentions on a graphic rating scale
(1 = Extremely unlikely; 100 = Extremely likely)
Results
Results
• Finally, ambassadors were asked to rate their level of agreement (on a graphic rating scale 1 =Strongly disagree; 100 =Strongly agree) with a series of summary statements regarding the value of ambassador programs
Results
The results indicate strong support for the value of ambassador programs in securing international meetings and events
Where to next?• Analysis of the data collected will continue (including
responses to a number of open-ended questions)• A research report will be drafted for comment by ICCA (end of
November)• The research team will publish the findings of the study in a
journal article to address the lack of academic studies on ambassador programs
• Now the online survey has been developed, potential to administer the survey to other ambassador programs to facilitate cross-program and cross-country comparisons

Business Events (B2B-Events) are events for participants, (target groups) who visit these events for professional reasons.
Business Events include •association meetings and other NPO-meetings•corporate events as well as •trade fairs and exhibitions
The reasons, we chose the broader approach (BE):1.We find these events often in a combination (meeting plus exhibition)2.Most ICCA members (Destinations, Venues, Agencies, etc.) are not only interested in Association Meetings, but in international Business Events of all kind!

Research Question:
How will the development of China`s Market for Business Events affect the international Event Industry with a focus on ICCA members?
3. Research Aim and Methodology
International Congress and Convention Association.
Twitter: #ICCA12
We will research
•the characteristics and development of the Chinese market for meetings and other business events •And analyse potential driving factors for global event activities •and ask for the regional/national distribution of these activities.
•Finally we will end up with some strategic advices to ICCA-member as how to cope with this emerging market.
Research Scope
International Congress and Convention Association.
Twitter: #ICCA12
1. Chinese Event Business will affect the Meeting Industry sooner than many of you think (Case: Trade Fair sector in China!)
2. More individual or group of delegates/visitors will take part at international meetings/business events worldwide
3. More Chinese decision makers (e.g. Board members in Intl. Associations or Corporations) will be influencing international meetings and the selection of destination
4. More China-based or influenced business events will be going abroad, starting with incentive travel to Asian countries
5. Countries with a high general and/or specific (BE) competitiveness will be gaining most from this development
Our Research Statements:We expect that….

DEVELOPING A SUCCESSFUL BID
PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: to analyse the competitive bidding process and the critical areas that need to be addressed in order to produce a successful bid
METHODOLOGY: In order to best respond, a secondary analysis of existing case studies was conducted. This was then used to develop a comprehensive bid in response to a hypothetical tender document for a scientific conference.
FINDINGS: Our research derived a possible way for Western Australia to successfully respond to a bid. Several critical success factors were identified:
• meeting specific site requirements• presenting an effective destination brand• having strong support and financial partnerships• providing a unique concept
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Higher ratios of successful bids could be achieved by addressing the critical success factors identified.
