MEETINGS AND CONVENTIONS IN BOGOTÁ

Embraced by the Andes Mountains, at 2,600 meters above sea level, Bogotá is the seat of government of Colombia and a destination which graces corporate events with a cosmopolitan air. Built on a savannah that stretches from the base of Cerro de Monserrate - whose church is symbolic of the city - more than 1,400 multinational companies and the most prestigious universities make this city their home. In terms of hosting international events, Bogotá ranked sixth among the top ten Latin American destinations, according to the 2013 ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) table. In that sense, the Greater Bogotá Convention Bureau is in charge of promoting the city for congresses, conventions and incentive travel, while also being the link between the travel organizer and the facilities offered at the destination.
