With the ICCA World Congress 2025 in Porto just around the corner, the Porto & North Forever Pact is already taking shape — a collective commitment that embodies the very values guiding this landmark edition of the congress.

Born from the region’s collaborative and forward-thinking spirit, this Pact represents how we believe global meetings should be designed: with inclusion, innovation, and well-being at their core.

• Inclusion – empowering diverse voices and communities to actively shape the events industry.
• Innovation – connecting creativity, education, and global collaboration to inspire new solutions.
• Well-being – ensuring every action contributes to sustainability, regeneration, and shared prosperity.

Over the past months, together with MEET4IMPACT and ValeConsultores, we’ve been translating this vision into action — hosting a series of impact and legacy workshops with municipalities, universities, NGOs, creative organisations, and businesses.

These sessions have been key to aligning regional stakeholders around a shared Theory of Change and measurable legacy goals that will extend far beyond the Congress.

As we approach the ICCA World Congress 2025, the Porto & North Forever Pact stands as both a promise and a blueprint — showing how values can become action, and how meetings can leave a true and lasting impact.
