Member of IGVW
Der VDT ist Mitglied der Interessengemeinschaft Veranstaltungswirtschaft IGVW. Die IGVW wird von den wichtigsten Verbänden der Veranstaltungsbranche getragen. Ihre Zielsetzung ist es, gemeinsam bei für die Veranstaltungswirtschaft bedeutsamen Themen Position zu beziehen sowie diese öffentlich zu vertreten und Branchenstandards zu entwickeln. Gerade in Krisenzeiten bewährt sich die enge Zusammenarbeit der Verbände, die unter anderem zum Beispiel in der Politk für eine bessere Sichtbarkeit der Veranstaltungsbranche im weitesten Sinne sorgen können.
