We are pleased to announce the 16th WCA Projects Conference will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from May 16 – 18, 2024, at the Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower hotel. The Hyatt is specifically designed for large functions and the venue will easily accommodate our meetings in a professional business environment. The weather should be great with temperatures ranging from 16 - 23 degrees and sunny with very little rain. Barcelona is a beautiful city with historic architecture and great food.
The conference schedule will be similar to previous years, starting with a tour or group event, followed by the opening cocktail, plenary session, 1-on-1 meetings, awards dinner at the beach, and an additional conference closing cocktail on the last night of the conference. The awards dinner will be held at a combined dinner/music venue on the beach and close to other after-dinner entertainment venues.
All attendees (except new members/visitors) are required to vote for Best Projects Partner 2023, so make sure you vote!
The conference dates are convenient for attendees who will also attend the Breakbulk Europe event in Rotterdam May 21-23. WCA Projects will also have a booth presence as an excellent meeting point for members. More information about the booth to follow as it becomes available.
It is proven that networking members who meet regularly develop more business together than those who stay at home waiting for inquiries. Remember to bring as many sales leads as possible. Make the most of your international sales efforts and have fun with your partners and peers at the same time by attending WCA Projects Barcelona.
