The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), a global community and knowledge hub for the international association meetings industry, will host the 63rd ICCA Congress in Abu Dhabi in October.

The theme of the congress, being held from October 20-23 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Adnec), is Tomorrow Starts Today which aptly reflects the can-do spirit of the industry, an industry that makes change happen through global collaboration, fresh ideas, new relationships, and generating opportunities for all, a statement said.

“From the spectacular launch on the final day of last year’s ICCA Congress in Bangkok, until the moment congress begins everything we do in the coming months is geared towards delivering a world-class event for our members, one that will resonate throughout our industry, and beyond,” it said.

“Working closely with hosts Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau (ADCEB) and the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi, we will deliver a Congress full of vibrancy, state-of-the-art spectacle, hugely enjoyable social events, and thought-provoking content with the scope to shape, inspire, and influence the way we think, plan, and do international events,” it said.

The congress will have four pillars that aim to create a distinctive content programme covering relevant industry-focussed topics:

  1. Technology and Innovation (including AI and Blockchain)
  2. Sustainability and Environmental Impact
  3. Cultural Awareness & Social Impacts (including Legacy and DEI)
  4. Business Trends & Growth (including Sales & Marketing)
ICCA CEO Senthil Gopinath said: “The 63rd ICCA Congress will be a congress for ages; a congress designed to matter. Last year the introduction of Sharing Hubs allowed us to put member needs at the forefront of our programme, and this is something we can now expand upon, bringing content that creates tangible results. I am excited at what our team and partners are promising to deliver. And what a place to do this! Abu Dhabi is a hub of possibility, an example of what is achievable when ideas and energy and passion become intrinsically linked.”

Participants can also enjoy Abu Dhabi’s culture, the hospitality, the stunning sun-kissed backdrop, the amazing venues, the luxury hotels, the dramatic excursions promising adventure in the dunes or by the glistening sea, the ease of getting from a to b and back again, the latest technology always at your fingertips, the spirit of internationalism in a gleaming metropolis where the world comes to work and play, the dramatic blend of stunning contemporary architecture and ancient precious tradition.
