IACC Certifies First Conference Venue in China
CHICAGO, IL. July 30, 2015 - The International Association of Conference Centres (IACC) announces it has accepted into its membership the first IACC-certified conference venue in China.
Châteauform' City Chuanshan Academy, located in the center of Beijing, is referred to as "a home of Mandarins; an authentic 'Siheyuan' Chinese traditional house." The 13th-century building includes a traditional, peaceful courtyard.
IACC's CEO Mark Cooper comments, "We are delighted to welcome our first member in China and to expand our membership in Asia. IACC's approach of certifying and representing the highest quality small-to-medium-size conference and meeting venues is unique and we hope to expand further in the region in the coming months." Cooper further notes, "I am sure that the unique delegate packaging that Châteauform' is known for in Europe will be well received in Beijing by both international and domestic Meeting Planners wanting to run high quality, distraction-free events."
Philippe Roye, managing director of Châteauform' China, explains, "We can offer to our clients the use of an auditorium, a boardroom, two large plenary meeting rooms, an informal meeting room and five breakout meeting rooms. All rooms are equipped with the latest technologies." Roye continues, "As in all Châteauform' City venues, this is a haven of peace, dedicated to business meetings, training, study days, business breakfasts, press conferences and product exhibitions. Clients will be welcomed by a host couple in a 'feel at home' atmosphere, and meeting packages are absolutely all-inclusive so there are no hidden extras. We would be pleased to welcome delegates at home in the Chuanshan Academy."
