The ICCA Board received several extraordinary bids of the very highest standard. The decision review was in-depth as all bidding destinations showcased their enormous commitment to Congress and a distinctive creative approach.
Working with ADCEB (Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau), ICCA believes the 133,000 square metre Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) is a multi-purpose venue that will inspire all who experience it. As will many other features, such as the ease of travelling to Abu Dhabi, the superb array and proximity of first-rate hotel accommodation, the excellent transport links and of course, the splendid range of potential venues for Congress social activities… a key part of any global gathering where opportunities to network reach an optimum level. The 63rd Congress will contribute significantly to Abu Dhabi’s Vision 2030, which sets out a clear strategy around sustainability, education, and career growth; especially for young professionals entering our industry, a passion ICCA shares with our esteemed hosts.
HE Saleh Mohamed Al Geziry, Director General for Tourism at the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi: “It is an honour to be able to host the ICCA Congress in Abu Dhabi, which demonstrates the emirate’s growth as a MICE destination. This win has been possible due to the collective support from key stakeholders such as the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) as well as other local and regional partners. Through our commitment to forging strategic partnerships, we have positioned Abu Dhabi as a dynamic hub where businesses prosper, and innovation thrives. By offering a wide array of distinct venues, hotels and year-round cultural, leisure and entertainment options, we deliver travel and business experiences for all our MICE visitors.”
