As the undisputed European capital, Strasbourg ranks 6th on the winners' podium for hosting international congresses among French cities outside Paris!

The city is also ranked sixth in the Cvent Top Meeting Destinations.

This ranking shows the best destinations chosen by event organizers worldwide, based on an analysis of over $16 billion in group/MICE business generated through the Cvent Supplier Network in 2023.

According to the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), the Alsatian capital is ranked 116th in the world for hosting international congresses. In Europe, it climbed to 66th place, up five places compared to 2022.

This European rise and stability at national level confirm Strasbourg's position as a destination for congresses and business events.

Strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, which facilitates access for visitors from all over the world, the city stands out for its economic and industrial attractiveness, but also for its quality of life, which is recognized far beyond the regional borders.
