President & Partner Mathias Posch comments: “Europe was an easy choice in the growth of ICS. In particular, the level of connections and suppliers ICS has already established in Vienna will now be elevated with our physical presence there.”

Accessibility is one of many reasons that Vienna has been a top choice for meetings throughout history. It now sees over 1,700 events annually, including those held by prestigious groups such as OPEC and the United Nations. It has also maintained a top spot on the International Congress and Convention Association's list of top conference destinations for many years.

Established in 1976, ICS has a great track record in organizing events both small and large in its headquarters city of Vancouver, Canada and around the world.

Beyond financial goals, ICS core values are ideas & innovation, community involvement, green initiatives and boutique-style service.

“I am so excited to lead this effort of ICS to expand operations internationally. This will allow us to better serve our European clientele beginning with the World Conference on Lung Cancer to be held in Amsterdam, 2011.I look forward to providing the same standard of excellent service and results that ICS is known for from our new branch office.”
