THE NEXT ICCA Congress will be held in China for the first time when it heads to Shanghai in 2013.
The event is expected to draw 800 to 1,000 delegates from more than 80 countries and regions. Shanghai International Convention Center has been selected as venue for the congress, which will run from November 2 to 6 next year.
To draw attention to the 52nd congress in 2013, the Shanghai Municipal Tourism Administration (SMTA) staged a presentation and reception during the closing ceremony of ICCA Congress 2012 on October 24 in San Juan.
Shen Shanzhou, vice chairman of SMTA, said: “The ICCA Congress has never been to mainland China before. We believe the 52nd ICCA Congress will be a milestone and an occasion that new horizons will be explored for the future development of the meetings industry in China.”
