With a total of 103 international congresses held in 2009, Copenhagen underlines its position as one of the world's most appealing congress cities.

According to the latest published report from the International Congress & Convention Association (ICCA), Copenhagen is the world's 6th most popular destination for international congresses. This is based on figures from 2009, during which the city, among others, hosted the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, with 13,500 participants and the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP15, with more than 30,000 delegates.

An even larger number
The ICCA Statistics Reports are based on the ICCA Association Database, which means the figures cover meetings organised by international associations which take place on a regular basis and which rotate between a minimum of three countries.

It should be noted that, as well as the congresses registered with the ICCA, Copenhagen is also the host city for a considerable number of other meetings and congresses.
