Our experience and in-deep knowledge of the city and the meetings world have allowed us to position Barcelona as one of the most qualified metropolis for hosting conferences and conventions.

The Barcelona Convention Bureau (BCB) is a specialised division of Turisme de Barcelona that promotes Barcelona as a congress, convention and incentive travel destination, and offers free and impartial advice to professionals interested in organising their meeting in Barcelona.

Founded in 1983, BCB was a pioneer in this field in Spain. All these years of work have given us in-depth knowledge of the city, creating close working relationships with companies in the meetings industry.

The BCB acts as a facilitating agent that boosts activities associated with the organisation of events and congresses, raising Barcelona’s profile as an aspirational and transformative destination. Our mission is to offer a vibrant, sustainable, responsible environment that aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, by strengthening the city’s brand and fostering economic dynamism and the material and immaterial returns generated by events and congresses.

Our end goal is to ensure that the economic impact of these events benefits the community, as well as the city’s economy and area of influence.
