Welcome to the Association Programme Page for the ICCA Congress 2025
The ICCA Congress 2025 in Porto is on course to be a transformative, future-focused experience that redefines what a global business events can be. Set against the backdrop of Porto’s rich history, vibrant creativity, and spirit of bold exploration, the 2025 ICCA Congress invites delegates to learn, grow and connect as they chart new courses for their organizations, their careers, and the industry itself.
The city of Porto itself is our stage, with events taking place at some of the most incredible locations the area has to offer. With five distinct, immersive content tracks, all centered around the 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 across the city of Porto.
This year’s five dynamic content tracks align with the Congress theme of purposeful exploration and bold innovation:
Impact & Sustainability
Future Leadership & Resilience
Purposeful Business Models & Start‑Ups
Innovation & Technology
The Creative Edge
Association executive who are interested in attending are invited to apply here. The attendance for hosted association executives is subject to approval. Hosted association representative will receive complimentary registration, travel, and accommodation including breakfast for up to 5 nights.
