Portugal is increasingly establishing itself as one of the world’s leading destinations for international congresses and association meetings. The latest ICCA Country & City Rankings 2025 confirm this momentum with record-breaking results, placing the country, and particularly Lisbon, at the center of the global MICE industry landscape.
According to the International Congress and Convention Association, Lisbon secured the #1 position worldwide among cities hosting international association meetings and congresses in 2025, with a total of 188 qualifying events.
The Portuguese capital surpassed traditionally dominant destinations in the sector, including Paris, with 174 congresses, and Barcelona, with 166.
But this achievement goes far beyond a position in an international ranking.
It reflects the growing confidence of the international scientific, academic, and association communities in Portugal as a destination fully prepared to host knowledge-sharing, innovation, collaboration, and world-class global events.
