ICCA Future of Healthcare Meetings 2026

The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) will hold its specialised forum, The Future of Healthcare Meetings, in Athens from 20 to 22 September 2026. This collaborative event brings together international healthcare association leaders, destinations, medical professionals, and meeting suppliers to address the evolution of medical conventions and the practical challenges of the sector.

The forum's programme is structured around innovative meeting formats, digital integration, compliance excellence and sustainable event design. A central objective of the 2026 edition is the analysis of destination-level value creation, exploring how associations can optimise micro-level collaboration with convention bureaus, venues, hotels, and local scientific networks to generate long-term legacies.

For the Athens meeting industry, hosting this flagship ICCA event provides direct engagement with key decision-makers from the global medical association segment, offering an objective platform to demonstrate the alignment of city-wide venue and hospitality infrastructure with international compliance standards.

The event is hosted in partnership with the This is Athens Convention & Visitors Bureau, through Develop Athens, serving as the official local destination partner.
