The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) has chosen Bangkok as the host city of its annual general meeting next year. The 62nd ICCA Congress will be held from November 12-15, 2023.
A major event in the global MICE calendar, the ICCA Congress is attended by members who represent more than 1,000 private and public organisations from over 100 countries. ICCA’s decision reflects the association meeting industry’s confidence in Bangkok and the interest among ICCA members to get reacquainted with Thailand after a two-year break. Supported by Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), the 2023 congress also promises to be an especially memorable one as it will take place at a time when Bangkok will be showcasing its achievements from the first half of its 20-year Strategic Development Plan (2013–2032) to transform itself into the “Metropolitan City of Asia”.
By hosting the ICCA Congress, TCEB hopes to impress upon association meeting executives not only Bangkok’s exceptional credentials but also the many MICE destinations to be found throughout Thailand. Having developed their business events infrastructure over the years with input from TCEB, Thailand’s other MICE Cities – Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, Khon Kaen, Nakhon Ratchasima, Songkhla, Phitsanulok, Udon Thani and Surat Thani – are now more ready than ever to host international meetings.
TCEB president, Mr. Chiruit Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya, said: “We thank ICCA
for this great opportunity to host the 62nd ICCA Congress in
Bangkok. Thailand has been a member of ICCA since 1974 and we are absolutely
confident that it will continue to play an exemplary leadership role in
promoting international association meetings. We look forward to welcoming ICCA
delegates to the city of Bangkok as we celebrate an important milestone in the
city’s transformation to become the “Metropolitan City of Asia” – a safe, green,
and economically and culturally vibrant city – under its 20-year Strategic
Development Plan (2013-2032).
