Coming to Porto Nov. 9-12, the ICCA Congress 2025 is on course to be a transformative, future-focused experience that redefines what global business events can be.
Set against the backdrop of Porto’s rich history, vibrant creativity, and spirit of exploration, the 2025 ICCA Congress is an invitation to learn, grow and connect. The Alfandega Congress Centre will be the conference’s main venue, but there will be locations throughout the city, including the Coliseum of Porto and the Stock Exchange Palace.
Following the conference theme of “Charting the Course,” participants have the unique opportunity to take part in boundary-breaking discussions, exciting out-of-the-box sessions, and meaningful networking experiences, all woven throughout iconic venues of coastal Porto—Portugal’s second-largest city, known for its stately bridges, port wine production and riverside medieval district.
Content Tracks Emphasize Innovation
This year’s five content tracks align with the Congress’ theme of purposeful exploration and innovation while showcasing the city’s incredible venues. Take a look:
- Impact & Sustainability at the Porto Leixões Cruise Terminal
- Future Leadership & Resilience at Ferreira Cellars
- Purposeful Business Models & Startups at the Alfandega Congress Centre
- Innovation & Technology at the CEiiA Research Hub

Central to the 64th Congress is an unwavering focus on people — the attendees, stakeholders, and the broader community.
The 64th Congress theme invites attendees into purposeful exploration and meaningful connection. This is ICCA’s invitation to gather and actively shape the future, providing the tools, community, and guidance essential for the collective transformative journey ahead.
The conference’s goal: as attendees embrace the spirit of thoughtful discovery, a powerful vision for the industry and the world emerges — one that resonates far beyond the event itself.
As the global community and knowledge hub for the international association meetings industry, ICCA serves as a guide, facilitator, and catalyst, providing ideas, tools, and connections necessary to navigate uncertainty and drive progress.
In Portugal, ICCA 2025 is your call to action: become explorers, innovators, and changemakers. Embrace transformation individually and collectively. Chart a meaningful course, propelling yourself, your organization and the industry forward.
