World Congress           

 

The World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics organizes a World Congress every 1-2 years. The international gathering attracts 1000+ experts and professionals in the field of professional technical education and training from all continents.

The WFCP 2023 Congress was held in Montréal, Canada, from April 23– 25, 2023.

Hosted by Colleges and Institutes Canada, the Congress’ theme of ‘Collective Intelligence’ resonated with the amazing host city, Montreal (Quebec), renowned as a hub of cultural, environmental, social and artificial intelligence! A UNESCO City of Design, Montreal seduces visitors with a harmonious pairing of the historic and the new and is recognized as a world leader in such industries as aeronautics, information technology and biotechnology.
