Gdańsk & Region where business meets
GCB is member of ICCA

Set the course

We would not claim that Pomerania is a gem on the map of Poland, even if we secretly think so. It would also be impudent to claim that our region is the most beautiful place in the world as everyone cherishes their own vision of a special place. In order to get anywhere we need to suffer the hardships of a journey and in order to overcome them we need motivation. Setting out on his journey Herodot did not know what ‘tourist attractions’ were awaiting him. He preferred to concentrate on people, breaking his journey at every opportunity of a chat. Everyone he met taught him something new. INFORMATION is still the most important thing. Even though nowadays the Internet is a source of information and offers social utilities connecting people instantly, the need to meet OTHERS is still the strongest motivation for travel. We are also curious to meet you and see what you are like. Come to meet us and find out how we look after the place which has been our heritage for generations. In Europe, in Poland, by the Baltic Sea with Hel Peninsula interlocking with it – this is US – POMERANIA.

The location by the sea has always been a key element in the region’s development. Marine transportation has contributed to the industrial development in different parts of the region creating workplaces and allowing people to accumulate wealth. The well-being of our citizens has been a long-standing tradition. Hanza merchants, renowned for their wealth, were able to appreciate the unique climate of Gdańsk and organised, what we might now call, business meetings in Arthur’s Hall. Respecting our tradition, we take care of the attractive conference facilities where such meetings could take place. In the Pomeranian region, beside city conference centres, numerous hotel and conference facilities have been set up close to natural landmarks. With the fast-increasing hotel and conference base of our region, Gdańsk Convention Bureau is the institution which offers the most comprehensive help in the area of conference planning and organisation. Because of the rule of life-long education and the need to meet face-to-face with the people we met only via the Internet the demand for business meeting facilities exceeds the supply of conference venues.
