The 2011 Annual Conference and 53rd General Assembly of the International Association of Convention Centres (AIPC) takes place from 28th June to 1st of July at the San Diego Convention Center, USA. The conference is themed around the concept "It's All About Change" as a reflection of the realization by centre managers everywhere that continuous change has become the new normal for facility operations. "We're living in a time when constant change is the ongoing reality, and the only logical response is to accept and adapt to the need to be anticipating and providing for changing markets, expectations and technologies on a continuing basis," says AIPC President Edgar Hirt. "An acceptance of this basic premise leads to a whole variety of new ways of looking at our approaches, and many of these are dealt with in this year's program as a means of encouraging new ways of looking at the design, operation and management of centres".
