Prague Convention Bureau and other Local Host Committee representatives received, on November 16th, the\u00a0formal handover of ICCA Congress flag from the 2016 Congress hosts during the Congress Closing Ceremony in Malaysia.
\n\u00a0\u201cOur Czech hosts really grabbed the opportunity to\u00a0showcase why they were awarded the chance to host the ICCA Congress, and let our members know they will be intellectually stimulated at the 2017 Congress as well as inspired by the city itself\u201d, said Martin Sirk, ICCA CEO.
\nICCA stands for the International Congress and Convention Association that represents the\u00a0main specialists in MICE industry and comprises over 1,000 member companies and organisations in over 90\u00a0countries worldwide. Specialised in the international association meetings sector, ICCA offers unrivalled data, communication channels, and business development opportunities. The annual ICCA Congress serves as a platform for networking, education and\u00a0best practice sharing for the association\u2019s members.
\nRoman Mu\u0161ka, Managing Director at Prague Convention Bureau said: \u201cBased on our estimates, around 1,200 event planners and association representatives could attend the Congress in Prague, which would be a record number in the whole ICCA Congress history. A key contribution of this event to Prague lies in increasing awareness about MICE opportunities of Prague and the Czech Republic as destination.\u201d
