GDA's mission is to promote an environment where diverse business practices are valued and used as a tool for change. Through strategic initiatives, partnerships, professional development programs and networking events, GDA aims to connect individuals and organisations worldwide to drive positive impact and prosperity in the meetings industry.

Our partnership

The Amsterdam Convention Bureau has partnered with the Global Diversity Alliance to strengthen its commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all visitors, including those from the LGBTQ+ community. This partnership reflects a dedication towards promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in convention management. 

By collaborating with GDA, the Amsterdam Convention Bureau gains access to valuable resources, networking opportunities, and industry best practices, enabling them to create safer spaces while actively combating discrimination against marginalised groups. Joining the Global Diversity Alliance is a testament to the ACB's forward-thinking approach and commitment to growing in tandem with evolving cultural sensitivities and human rights advocacy.
