BestCities Board Chair, Jonas Wilstrup, the Convention Director of Wonderful Copenhagen Convention Bureau said: “Madrid is one of the most established and vibrant conference destinations in the world and we are proud to welcome them into our alliance.”

The combination of the MCB’s exceptional work by MCB, with Madrid’s outstanding meeting venues, modern infrastructure and rich culture, make it the ideal candidate to join the BestCities family. 

Madrid was ranked 5th in the world by the ICCA International Congress rankings and voted “2016 Best MICE Destination” at the 2016 IBTA Business Travel Awards, making the MCB one of the world’s most experienced and successful convention bureaus.  In 2016, the city hosted 14,283 meetings, welcoming over one million delegates.

Some of the high profile events that will be coming to Madrid in 2017 include the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology ESMO 2017, the European Congress of Medical Oncology EULAR 2017 and the 54th European Renal Association and European Dialysis and Transplant Association congress.  

David Noack Pérez, Director of Madrid Convention Bureau said: “Everyone feels at home in lively and friendly Madrid. But it is also a safe and comfortable city where business and leisure are equally enjoyable. Its amazing artistic and natural heritage, cutting-edge transport network, quality accommodation, fine cuisine and the passion of our locals as they enjoy our city's day and night life make Madrid one of the most attractive cities.”
