ICCA has released ICCA GlobeWatch: Business Analytics – Country & City Rankings 2025, the latest edition of its flagship research publication and the definitive global reference for international association meetings.
Produced by the ICCA Research team, the 2025 Rankings analyse data from more than 12,438 international association meetings worldwide, offering authoritative insight into the scale, distribution and evolution of the global meetings and events landscape.
This year’s edition introduces enhancements designed to provide a more strategic and contextual view of international meeting activity. In addition to the core country and city rankings, the 2025 report delivers in‑depth insights organised by region, meeting size and sector, combining robust data analysis with geographical perspective and forward‑looking intelligence.
Together, these expanded insights reinforce ICCA’s commitment to regional advocacy and highlight the role of association meetings as powerful platforms for policy alignment, knowledge exchange and long‑term destination legacy. They also reflect the continued evolution of the ICCA Rankings as the leading global benchmark for international association meetings.
