Why Poland’s Presence at Conventa Matters
Participating in Conventa provides a strategic opportunity to promote Poland as a competitive MICE destination and to establish key business connections. Over the past decade, Poland has strengthened its position in the European meetings market, thanks to significant investments in conference and hotel infrastructure.
In the 2023 International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) rankings, Poland achieved its highest position to date, securing the 17th spot globally. This represents a significant rise of six places from the previous year.
One of the event’s highlights is the Meetings Star Awards gala, where top hotels, congress centres, and MICE destinations in Europe are recognized. Among this year’s finalists are the ICE Kraków Congress Centre, the International Congress Centre in Katowice, Nobu Hotel Warsaw, The Bridge Wroclaw – MGallery, Aries Hotel & SPA Wisła, and LCK – Lubelskie Centrum Konferencyjne in Lublin.

This will be my first time attending Conventa, continuing the Poland Convention Bureau’s engagement. In the previous two editions, Aneta Książek, Head of Poland Convention Bureau, represented us at the event. Since our first exhibition in 2022 – a decision that proved highly valuable – Conventa has become a key B2B event in our calendar. It serves as an essential platform for fostering connections, and with a record number of Polish exhibitors this year, we look forward to engaging with international buyers and showcasing Poland as a top-tier MICE destination.
