The 12th edition of the India Association Congress (IAC) is set to convene over 300 association leaders and decision-makers on August 29-30, 2025, at the Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre. Organized by CIMGlobal, this influential forum aims to equip association professionals with tools to drive measurable change, focusing on the timely theme of “Rooted in Purpose, Aiming for Impact.” The event promises to be a pivotal gathering for knowledge exchange, partnership building, and strategizing for the future of India’s association landscape.
The two-day congress will feature a meticulously curated program encompassing keynote talks, expert panels, strategic roundtables, and interactive workshops. Key sessions are slated to delve into critical topics shaping the global and national environment, including “Geopolitical Shifts & Economic Resilience: Redefining India’s Position,” “Digital Transformation: AI, Cybersecurity and Ethical Tech Governance,” and “Future of India’s Workforce: Youth, Skills and the Gig Economy.” Beyond these, workshops will offer practical insights on emerging tools like multi-sensory marketing and the ethical implementation of artificial intelligence, underscoring the congress’s commitment to tangible outcomes.
A highlight of IAC 2025 will be the return of the prestigious Association Excellence Awards, recognizing outstanding achievements within India’s professional and trade associations. This year also marks the debut of the Association Partner Awards, designed to spotlight impactful collaborations between associations and their strategic partners. The congress will be inaugurated by Hon’ble Srimati Diya Kumari, Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, emphasizing the event’s significance.
Prasant Saha, Chairman of IAC, reiterated the congress’s objective: “At IAC, we don’t just talk about purpose we give leaders the tools to turn that purpose into measurable outcomes. We’ve seen real changes happen after just one congress, and 2025 will raise the bar again.”
