  • participating in international business fairs, which results in gaining new business contacts;
  • organising study tours for foreign journalists and organisers of meetings and business events, including conferences, congresses, product launches, incentives;
  • gaining new business events for Poland;
  • cooperating with foreign media and posting articles and advertisements promoting Poland as a business destination in business press and directories;
  • cooperating with city convention bureaux;
  • networking with the Polish business sector within the Recommendation Program for  Professional Congress Organisers, Recommendation Program for Incentive Travel Companies;
  • networking with the Polish scientific community within the Polish Congress Ambassadors Program;
  • cooperating with international organisations and associations of meeting industry professionals;
  • collection and elaboration of statistical data on the Polish meeting industry, by the recommendations of international organisations such as ICCA - International Congress and Convention Association and the UIA - Union of International Associations, engaged in similar rankings.
