Support

We trust the following support will help you make your congress a success

Dear Partner!

 

One of the goals of Warsaw Convention Bureau is to encourage large conferences, fairs, and congresses to take place in the city. As part of this goal, we offer support to both Polish and international meeting planners who consider Warsaw for their events. By using the synergy of public and private entities associated with Warsaw Tourism Organisation, we strive to provide each organizer with a range of services. Each request for support is individually evaluated and the decision on the scope of the support depends on several factors, such as the available resources of Warsaw Convention Bureau and its partners, as well as the economic impact and significance of the event’s content and image.

Support for the local congress ambassador

If you are a member of a Polish scientific community or a representative of a local industry association and you would like to bring a significant international congress to Warsaw – check how we can support you.
  • Preparation for the destination pitch – analysis of the event in the ICCA international database, access to key information from international partners (convention bureaus, PCOs, partners of previous editions of the event), collection of offers for the logistics of the event (venues, hotels, PCOs/DMCs, etc.).
  • Bid book – professional destination offer of Warsaw including all logistics and subject-related elements required by the official request for proposal issued by the meeting owner.
  • Support from local partners – help with engaging Polish stakeholders whose active role in the bid preparation and event itself is required by the meeting owner or can be seen as providing added value to the Warsaw congress. These could be public institutions, authorities, or key industry leaders (universities, institutes, representatives of state and local government, industry associations).
  • Active help with presenting Warsaw offer to the decision-makers – accompanying local congress ambassador at an international congress where the Warsaw offer is presented professionally.
  • Further promotion of the event – to acquire the largest possible attendance of the Warsaw congress Warsaw CvB will help the local host committee with promoting the Warsaw edition at the preceding meetings.

Support for the event itself

Whether you are a Polish or an international meeting planner willing to organize a significant congress in the capital of Poland, Warsaw Convention Bureau is here to support your meeting.

  • Acquiring complimentary public transport tickets – offered by local authorities for all the participants for the whole duration of the event.
  • Warsaw sightseeing tours for VIP guests – complimentary sightseeing tours for key participants of the event (usually 3-hour sightseeing with a guide, transfers, and additional attractions).

  • Welcome stand at the Warsaw Chopin Airport – provided complimentarily for the arriving participants, along with staff and information materials (usually first 1-2 days of the event).
  • Inviting local and state government representatives to take part in the most important part of the congress (opening ceremony, welcome dinner, panel sessions, etc.)
  • Additional benefits from the members of Warsaw Tourism Organisation – depending on which and how many members of WTO are engaged in the event, Warsaw CvB will always try to provide the meeting owner with additional benefits generated by the synergy of the local MICE industry.
  • Promotion of and at the event – here is how we can help to promote the congress in Warsaw and promote Warsaw to the participants at the congress:
