ICCA Congress 2022 in Krakow is a must-attend event for all professionals involved in the international meetings industry. And we have some very exciting news. This year, the annual ICCA Forum For Young Professionals is moving from Barcelona… to Krakow. 
 
That’s not all, we are shaking things up further by allowing ANYONE of ANY age to attend. So this isn’t just a Forum FOR Young Professionals, but a Forum BY Young Professionals. The content and focus will be entirely created by Young Professionals themselves, including members of the ICCA Future Leaders Council.  
 
At ICCA we know great ideas come from many brains working together, so this is an opportunity for Young Professionals to learn from their more senior professionals, and more importantly, for their more senior colleagues to hear, first-hand, about the vision shared by the next generation of industry leaders.  
 
The Forum will be staged as a special event before Congress begins. By bringing the Forum to Congress, we are reinforcing our ongoing commitment to the future talent working in our industry. This is a big opportunity to come and be a voice of change.

This event is open to any ICCA Member and association executives of any age, although priority will be given to Young Professionals (age 35 or under). Places on this year's Forum are on a first-come-first-served basis and attendance will be limited to 1 representative per organisation.
