WCB – 10 years in the global ICCA community

This year's ICCA Congress in Porto was special for us in many ways. Not only did we have the opportunity to participate in the largest European Congress in ICCA history, but we also celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Warsaw Convention Bureau's membership in this unique, global community.

Receiving the official recognition during the grand opening at the Palácio da Bolsa was a tremendous honor for us. This symbolic "10 years" represents a time of intense work, knowledge exchange, and relationship-building that has a real impact on the development of the meetings industry—both in Poland and globally.

From the outset, ICCA has been not only a networking platform for us, but above all a space for co-creating innovations, sustainable solutions, and new standards. This year's Congress demonstrated just how strong, creative, and diverse our community is—1,514 delegates from 81 countries demonstrated that the energy of collaboration truly can transform the future.

We thank ICCA for its years of support, inspiration, and global connections, and all its members for creating an environment in which we can thrive together. We look forward to 2026 with pride and optimism—a year full of new initiatives, digital innovations, and projects that support sustainable development.

As WCB, we are ready for the next chapter and another 10 years of ambitious, international cooperation.
