Event description
The ICCA World Congress is the flagship annual gathering of the international association meetings industry, convening 1,500+ senior professionals from over 80 countries and driving major economic impact, destination positioning, and sector-wide strategy. Organized by the International Congress and Convention Association, a nonprofit founded in 1963 and headquartered in Amsterdam, the Congress is the central platform for networking, education, business development, and thought leadership for convention bureaus, PCOs, venues, tourism boards, transport providers, tech suppliers, and association executives.
Originating as a General Assembly of a small travel-agents’ club in the 1960s, ICCA rebranded its annual meeting as the ICCA Congress in 1997 and opened it to non-members, evolving it into a strategic global forum; today ICCA counts 1,000+ member organisations in nearly 100 countries, led by CEO Dr. Senthil Gopinath and President Marta Gomes. The Congress is powered by ICCA’s data ecosystem, including the ICCA Association Database and the ICCA GlobeWatch: Business Analytics country and city rankings, which track more than 11,000 qualifying annual international association meetings and are among the industry’s most influential benchmarking tools.
Programme design has shifted toward immersive, multi-venue and hub-style formats, with peer-led learning, AI-supported feedback, and citywide experiences structured around themes such as sustainability, leadership, innovation, social legacy, and education. Signature elements include awards like the ICCA Best Marketing Award, the Incredible Impacts Programme, and the Moises Shuster Award, as well as the formal General Assembly and rich social programming that anchors relationship-building.
