Hosting PCMA Convening EMEA 2026 at FIL – Lisbon Exhibition & Convention Centre was a privilege for Lisbon Venues and a powerful reminder that great events are never created alone.
Behind every successful event is an extraordinary network of people, companies and partners working together, often behind the scenes, to turn an ambitious vision into reality.
Our heartfelt thank you to all the local partners who brought their expertise, creativity, energy and commitment to Convening EMEA: AVK, Silva Carvalho, Tazte, Food Network, Opção Global Premium, Digital Decor, Rangel, Oceanário de Lisboa, Carris, Arbovita, Boost and Eurodome.
Each of you played a part in creating the experience our delegates enjoyed in Lisbon, and quite simply, we could not have done it without you.
A very special thank you also goes to our fellow Host Partners: Leading, Turismo de Lisboa and Turismo de Portugal. From the very beginning, this was a shared project, built on trust, commitment and a common ambition to showcase Lisbon and Portugal at their very best. Your support was fundamental in making Convening EMEA in Lisbon possible.
We would also like to recognise the important contribution of the tourism regions of Algarve, Alentejo, Porto and Norte, helping us bring even more of Portugal into the Convening EMEA experience
The result speaks for itself: Convening EMEA 2026 was a success. Together, we welcomed an international community, created meaningful connections and put Lisbon firmly on the map of the global business events industry.
But perhaps the most important takeaway is this: achievements like this are only possible through collaboration.
With partners like these, working together with a shared purpose, we can achieve extraordinary things.
