The Mazovia Convention Bureau and Warsaw Convention Bureau organized a ceremonial meeting of Polish Congress Ambassadors 2025 at Fabryka Norblina, addressed to representatives of the Warsaw and Mazovia academic community and the meetings industry. The event was attended by this year’s winners of the program, Ambassadors from previous years, and members of WOT and MROT – professional meeting organizers cooperating in attracting international events to the region.
The purpose of the meeting was to announce the winners of the Polish Congress Ambassadors 2025 title from Mazovia and to present the extensive support system that Warsaw, Mazovia, Poland, and LOT Polish Airlines offer to congress organizers.
The guests were welcomed by the Secretary of the Capital City of Warsaw, Maciej Fijałkowski, who thanked the Ambassadors for promoting the capital on the international arena and gave preliminary information on the support offered by the City Hall in organizing meetings in Warsaw.
Dorota Zbińkowska-Kostrzewska, Director of the Mazovia Regional Tourist Organization, also spoke about the enormous importance of the academic community and scientific congresses for the promotion of Mazovia.
Detailed information on the support available to Congress Ambassadors was then presented by Mateusz Czerwiński (Warsaw Convention Bureau), Aneta Książek (Poland Convention Bureau – Polish Tourist Organization), and Szymon Melerski (LOT Polish Airlines).

“From the perspective of the organizer of the National Polish Congress Ambassadors Program, the meeting of the Warsaw-Masovian Ambassadors Club was of particular importance, emphasizing the strength of cooperation between the scientific, business, and institutional communities in central Poland. The Polish Congress Ambassadors Program remains one of the key tools of the Polish Tourist Organization in building Poland’s international position in the meetings market, relying on the knowledge, authority, and real commitment of experts who effectively attract prestigious events to our cities and regions. An equally important pillar of the program is integration within local Ambassador clubs, which promotes the exchange of experiences, strengthens relationships, and initiates new projects. This year’s Polish Congress Ambassadors Gala, organized in the artistic space of the Tadeusz Sygietyński “Mazowsze” Matecznik in Karolina, as well as today’s meeting at the Norblin Factory, clearly emphasized the importance of the scientific community of central Poland in building the competitiveness of our country as a congress destination,” said Aneta Książek, Head of the Poland Convention Bureau – Polish Tourist Organization.
The meeting ended with a joint tour of the immersive exhibition “Romantic Chopin” at the ArtBox Gallery. The event emphasized the importance of cooperation between the scientific community, local government, and the MICE industry in building Mazovia’s position as a strong destination for meetings and congresses.
