Madrid , safe and sustainable meetings

Welcoming , lively , cosmopolitan , sustainable , reliable , and safe . Madrid is a leading city in the business tourism sector , and the international awards it has received only serve to reinforce this fact . From Best MICE Destination 2020 at the World MICE Awards to Europe ’ s Leading Meetings & Conference Destination 2020 and the World ’ s Leading Meetings & Conference Destination 2020 , these accolades are not only proof that the Spanish capital has been working non-stop to secure its position in the MICE sector , but are also an excellent starting point to take on the challenges of 2021 .
Madrid Convention Bureau ( MCB ) is a body that works to promote the Spanish capital as a destination for conferences , events and meetings . This year , the two cornerstones that underpin its annual roadmap are sustainability and legacy . Intrinsically linked , sustainability encompasses the fields of ecology , the environment and social settings , and legacy represents the positive footprint that these types of professional events leave on the city after they have been held .
To these two strategic cornerstones , professionalism , creativity , and high standards must be added . Not forgetting the passion and dedication of the professionals of the sector , whom MCB has stayed in close contact with by means of training courses and promotional activities for its more than 200 affiliate companies .
It goes without saying that , over the past year , this invincible sector has successfully adapted and responded to guests and visitors in Madrid , as a city that has continued to host in-person events and meetings with guaranteed safety measures .
