We would like to remind you that the data collection for meetings held in Poland in 2023, as part of the latest ICCA Country and City Rankings, is nearing its conclusion. The extended deadline for submitting data is February 14, 2024.
ICCA Country and City Ranking provide valuable information and additionally supports the promotional efforts of countries and congress cities. Last year, Poland ranked 23rd, with six Polish cities appearing in the report. Will we be able to improve our position this year?

History
The ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) was established in 1963. ICCA was created to support the international meetings industry and foster collaboration among professionals involved in organising and hosting conferences and conventions. The ICCA ranking began as a way to provide transparency and insights into the competitive landscape of global meetings.
Over time, this ranking has evolved into a key tool for destination marketing organisations, convention bureaus, and policymakers to measure their success and set strategic goals. Major cities like Paris, Vienna, Barcelona, and Singapore have consistently topped the rankings, reflecting their infrastructure, accessibility, and promotional efforts.
The ICCA ranking has not only stimulated healthy competition among cities and countries but also contributed to the global growth of the meetings industry. Today, the ranking remains a cornerstone of the business events sector, helping stakeholders make informed decisions and encouraging continued investment in conference and convention capabilities.
