International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) has released ICCA GlobeWatch: Business Analytics Country and City Rankings 2025, the latest edition of its flagship research publication and the definitive global reference for international association meetings.
Produced by the ICCA Research team, the 2025 rankings analyse data from more than 12,438 international association meetings worldwide. The report provides authoritative insight into the scale, distribution and evolution of the global meetings and events landscape.
This year’s edition introduces a series of enhancements designed to deliver a more strategic and contextual view of international meeting activity.
Alongside the core country and city rankings, the 2025 report offers in depth analysis by region, meeting size and sector, combining robust data analysis with geographical perspective and forward looking intelligence.
Together, these expanded insights reinforce ICCA’s commitment to regional advocacy and underscore the role of association meetings as powerful platforms for policy alignment, knowledge exchange and long-term destination legacy.
They also reflect the ongoing evolution of the ICCA Rankings as the leading global benchmark for international association meetings.
ICCA CEO Dr Senthil Gopinath commented: "Evidence based research is central to ICCA’s mission.
With GlobeWatch 2025, we are equipping our members with the intelligence they need to make informed decisions, strengthen their global positioning and clearly demonstrate the economic, social and knowledge impact of international meetings.”
