The 64th International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) Congress, scheduled for November 9-12 in Porto, Portugal, will focus on inclusivity, versatility, and experiential immersion.
The event will be designed in iconic, distinctive venues that represent the core Congress themes, with the city itself serving as a grand stage.
The ICCA team is working with partners in Porto to create a sense of connection and community among the azulejo-tiled streets.
Building on last year's Abu Dhabi Congress, which had the largest turnout yet, with more than 1,500 delegates representing over 80 countries, this year's event promises to live up to its reputation.
"With Porto as our host, this year's Congress is certain to break records," said ICCA CEO Dr Senthil Gopinath. "The theme is 'Charting the Course,' and it perfectly represents ICCA's mission as we head into the future. With uncertainties and upheaval clouding the horizon, it's up to leaders in the field like ICCA to keep a steady focus on the issues that matter most to our members, and we intend to make this experience one to remember."
"Porto is ready to inspire the world. Hosting the ICCA Congress is more than an honour," said Visit Porto and North of Portugal - Convention & Visitors Bureau President Luis Pedro Martins. "It’s a commitment to transforming our industry. Our destination, shaped by history, culture, discovery, and innovation, will be the stage where we come together to chart a course for the future. With dedication, creativity, and a strong sense of purpose, Porto and Portugal proudly stand as active partners in building a global legacy of progress and connection."
The ICCA Congress is a must-attend event for international business events, bringing together the best from around the globe to light up one lucky city with expert speakers, educational sessions, and social functions.
It will be a beacon of progress, ingenuity, and long-lasting connections, providing ideas, tools, and connections to navigate uncertainty, drive innovation, and reach new collaboration frontiers.
Programme highlights include Innovation & Technology, Future Leadership & Resilience, Creativity as Catalyst, Global Impact & Sustainability, and Purposeful Business Models. -TradeArabia News Service
