The 60mln Congress in numbers

The name of the congress revolves around the fact that there are around 60 million Poles and people of Polish origin in the world today. The key goal of the congress is to create a platform for participants to organize meetings and thereby exchange ideas, initiate discussions, and offer solutions that will lead to the development of business and political relations which are very much aligned with the trends of the 21st century. The 60mln Congress is a unique opportunity to take advantage of the network and possibilities linked with one of the world’s largest and relevant diasporas – the Polonia.
