The Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau (ADCEB), part of the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), sent a delegation to the 62nd International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), held in Bangkok, Thailand recently.
The delegation, led by Mubarak Al Shamsi, Director of ADCEB, welcomed the general assembly to attend the 63rd ICCA Congress in Abu Dhabi, which makes its debut in the emirate for the first time.
Abu Dhabi is set to welcome the global meetings and events community at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from 20th to 23rd October 2024, reinforcing the emirate’s position as a premier global destination for business events.
Mubarak Al Shamisi, Director of ADCEB, said, “Attending the ICCA Congress in Bangkok alongside my colleagues has been an incredible learning experience, one that will directly influence our efforts as we work towards hosting the ICCA Congress 2024 in Abu Dhabi.
Delegates who visit the emirate next year can be assured of world-leading
services and facilities, a range of creative, thought-provoking workshops and activities at the Congress, all wrapped within the warm welcome of Emirati hospitality. We look forward to welcoming attendees from around the world as we work together to progress the business events industry.’
During the ICCA Congress 2023, ADCEB showcased the emirate’s world-class offerings to international peers, fostering connections and partnerships with the professional associations. The delegation also hosted a special lunch session to spotlight Abu Dhabi and pave the way for the forthcoming ICCA Congress 2024.
Abu Dhabi’s prominence as a business event destination is underscored by the recent ICCA 2022 ranking, where the emirate was recognised as the top Middle East City for association meetings.
The hosting of the ICCA Congress in 2024 promises to be a milestone event, further solidifying Abu Dhabi’s global standing in the business events industry and reinforcing its ability to deliver association meetings and congresse
