Compliance

UNICEO events are in a “sales free” environment. To finance its activities, UNICEO relies on Partnerships with industry stakeholders. The partner policy is very strict: *[1546_4.png*] Partners do not have access to Members contact details. *They are not allowed to send Members any kind of commercial information that has not been requested. *Only senior decision makers are allowed to meet with UNICEO Members and they are not allowed to pitch their business to participants. UNICEO has strict control over which part of a meeting a Partner may attend
UNICEO organizes the following activities for its Members with the aim of offering members free access whenever possible. *[1546_4.png*]UNICEO Leaders Meeting: This is where Members meet with peers and learn from each other. Topics are proposed by Members. All Members can attend these events and when there is any travel cost involved, it must be covered by the Member or his/her company. These events are organized in venues run by UNICEO Partners or Supporters. *UNICEO regional and global events: This is where UNICEO international members meet. For Members they are the occasion to compare their expertise with that of peers in other countries and to stay on top of the latest regional/global innovations in events, increase their knowledge about new venues and meet with other industry stakeholders, also beyond UNICEO members. UNICEO arranges the event and it is financed through sponsorship and ticket sales to non-members. *Global events organized in partnership with an industry trade show: UNICEO negotiates an agreement with the trade show organizer that allows members to join at no cost. UNICEO has its own dedicated meeting agenda and education program. This format allows members to extract maximum value of their time away from their office sharing with peers, meeting all potential suppliers for their forthcoming events, attending education sessions and participating in the latest developments in their role while attending UNICEO internal meetings. *Destination Experiences: These events have several objectives: -Monthly UNICEO meeting with Board Members and Ambassadors -Evaluate destinations for a forthcoming UNICEO Congress -Help increase Members knowledge about destinations that are being considered for potential future events. These events are financed by the destination. They are not fam trips in the sense that we do not meet with venues or local suppliers and there is no sales pitch involved. The destination's interest is to succeed in hosting a UNICEO Congress. Members are fully hosted by the Destination and UNICEO. Dedicated private UNICEO meetings are arranged as a part of the destination experience.
