The Congress Ambassadors Programme is implemented jointly by the Polish Tourist Organisation and a non-governmental organisation – Polish Conference and Congress Association, and aims to distinguish, in particular, those who actively and with great commitment acquire new congresses for Poland. Representing our country in various international structures, the Congress Ambassadors use their broad and meaningful contacts to promote our country, its culture, and scientific achievements.
