The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) has announced the appointment of newly elected leaders of the association’s India Committee.

The new India Committee will be chaired by Jaideep Khanna, GM Sales Marketing & Distribution, Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC).

Also appointed to the committee were Kalpana Oberoi, GM of Kuoni Destination Management India as Secretary and Girish Kwatra, Head, Meetings & More India as Treasurer.

The newly elected leaders will work closely with the rest of ICCA’s members in India to enhance the effectiveness of India’s bidding process with regard to international events and associations.

The India Committee said it was determined to increase India’s share of the international association meetings market by stimulating every Indian ICCA member to make effective use of the ICCA Association Database, marketing resources, research tools and face-to-face client business opportunities.

Jaideep Khanna said he was confident that “with ICCA, we will deliver instant access to a range of research, sales and marketing opportunities to our Indian members. We will create a synergised approach and a platform for knowledge sharing and networking opportunities. This will open better communication channels to enhance value and generate competitive advantage”.

HICC had already gained tremendously from its active involvement with ICCA, he said, “especially after we hosted the ICCA Congress in our city in 2010”.

Recent converted leads generated from research done on ICCA database,  he said, included the IEEE Multi-Conference on Systems & Control – MSC 2013 and the 9th Asia Pacific Symposium on Cochlear Implants and Related Sciences – APSCI 2013.

Kalpana Oberoi noted Kuoni has been appointed for the World Agricultural Forum 2013 to be held in Hyderabad in November 2013, “a lead picked up from the ICCA Database”.
