WHAT DOES “IACC-APROOVED” MEAN?
Crystal is the only International Association of Conference Centers (IACC)-
approved conference center in northern Michigan. To be a member, conference facilities
must meet IACC’s standards, which cover six areas: Priority of Business, Conference
Room Design, Conference Services, Food & Beverage, Technology, and Guest Rooms.
This accreditation is important to us, as IACC standards guarantee a high-quality,
successful and productive meeting.
