Established in 2002, Poland Convention Bureau is responsible for promoting Poland internationally as a destination for meetings and business events.
It acts as a first point of contact for planners looking for information about Polish destinations, conference facilities and professional partners and works with city and regional convention bureaux, Professional Congress Organisers, incentive travel companies and Poland’s scientific community.

Kraków Convention Bureau
Kraków Convention Bureau supports international organisers considering Kraków for association congresses, conferences, corporate meetings and other business events.

ICE Kraków Congress Centre
ICE Kraków Congress Centre is one of Poland’s principal congress venues. Its main Auditorium accommodates 1,915 delegates, complemented by the 600-seat Theatre Hall, 400-seat Chamber Hall and conference room complex for up to 350 participants.

4. Aviation support designed for the meetings industry
LOT Polish Airlines operates dedicated solutions for organisers of international congresses, conferences, incentive programmes and other business events.
Its LOT International Events programme is designed specifically for organised events. Poland Convention Bureau reports that LOT’s wider network covers more than 100 destinations across four continents, supported by long-haul Boeing 787 Dreamliner operations.
For organisers working on international bids, aviation support can also play a role before the event is awarded. The National Support Programme for the Meetings Industry, developed by Poland Convention Bureau, LOT Polish Airlines and the Polish Conference and Congress Association, can support selected bid presentations and site inspections through airline tickets, subject to programme criteria.

5. A meetings market extending beyond Warsaw and Kraków
Poland’s international congress market is increasingly distributed across several academic and business centres. The latest ICCA data includes meetings in Warsaw, Kraków, Gdańsk, Poznań, Wrocław, Łódź, Katowice, with further qualifying events held in destinations including Białystok, Kielce, Rzeszów, Szczecin and Szczyrk.
This gives planners the option to compare different destination profiles rather than treating Poland as a single-city proposition.

Planning an international congress?
For an association, a conversation at IMEX America can start long before a formal RFP or bid is issued. Poland Convention Bureau and its local partners can help establish which destinations should be considered according to the size, profile and requirements of an event and connect an association with appropriate local organisations, venues, universities, PCOs and other stakeholders.
This can be particularly useful when an association is:
- analysing possible future destinations,
- preparing a city shortlist,
- assessing venue capacity,
- looking for a local host or academic community,
- identifying an experienced PCO,
- considering a site inspection,
- preparing an international bid.
The current list of recommended PCOs includes companies experienced in congress organisation and servicing international clients.

Corporate meetings and incentive travel in Poland
For corporate and incentive planners, the conversation can cover a different set of requirements – from hotels and meeting facilities to transportation, destination experiences and DMC services. The Poland Convention Bureau Recommendation Programme for Incentive Travel Companies identifies operators with international experience and expertise in designing and delivering incentive programmes across Poland.

Rather than beginning with a predetermined city, planners can use the Polish stand to discuss the required group size, programme profile, season, accessibility and objectives of the trip and then identify destinations and partners worth exploring in more detail.
Poland’s international meetings pipeline
Poland’s meetings calendar also provides practical evidence of the range of international associations already using Polish destinations.
For example, monitoring conducted by Poland Convention Bureau identified at least 22 international congresses, scientific conferences and association meetings in Warsaw, Kraków, Poznań and Szczecin in September 2026 alone. Their subjects ranged from medicine and advanced materials to technology, political science and urban development.
Among them were events attracting approximately 1,000, 1,800 and 2,000 participants, illustrating the variety of formats handled by Polish destinations, universities and congress venues. International Congresses and Conferences in Poland – September 2026
From Frankfurt to Las Vegas
IMEX America is another stage in Poland Convention Bureau’s 2026 international B2B programme. At IMEX Frankfurt 2026, the Polish national stand brought together convention bureaux, DMCs, congress centres, conference hotels and LOT Polish Airlines. Poland Convention Bureau subsequently reported strong buyer interest in the Polish offer during the event.
Las Vegas now creates an opportunity to continue those discussions with North American and international buyers – and to begin conversations around events planned several years ahead. Poland Convention Bureau’s wider 2026 industry calendar can be found here: Let’s Meet in 2026
