World Tunnel Congress in Copenhagen is now officially WTC2022

WTC2022 Copenhagen

 

It has been confirmed by the Danish Society for Tunnels and Underground Works (the organizers of the World Tunnel Congress in Copenhagen) that WTC2021 is now officially WTC2022.

International Tunnelling & Underground Space Association's WTC2022 will be organized in Copenhagen, Denmark during the days of 22-28 April 2022.

It had already been known for more than a month that the WTC in Copenhagen was to be shifted to 2022 (World Tunnel Congress in Copenhagen is most likely to be held in 2022, pending some arrangements) but there were some arrangements had to be done with ITA and obviously also with the organizers of original WTC2022 in Cancun, Mexico.

Hence,now officially the WTC2022 will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark!

Following is the announcement at WTC Copenhagen site:

It is a great pleasure on behalf of the Danish Society for Tunnels and Underground Works, DFTU, to invite you to the World Tunnel Congress 2022 and associated events from Friday 22 April 2022 through to Thursday 28 April 2022.

Copenhagen is an attractive conference location with easy access, great logistics and excellent venues. The city has for many years been one of the world’s most popular congress cities according to the International Congress and Conference Association (ICCA).

The venue we have chosen to host the conference, exhibition and ITA general assembly is the well-known Bella Congress Center Copenhagen. Being located less than 15 minutes from the airport and less than 10 minutes from the city center, the Bella Center has a fantastic location and the venue has more than sufficient capacity both in terms of conference and exhibitions capacity to host the World Tunnel Congress.

Denmark and Scandinavia will present some of the mega projects in the world with great opportunity to learn and visit the project in our part of the world. In Denmark, existing and new projects are well under construction and site visits will be arranged. New Metro lines (Cityringen, Nordhavn and Sydhavn) are well under way. Learnings from the Great Belt Link and the Øresund Link has been used for getting the Femern Fixed Link started. In Scandinavia: Norway, Sweden and Finland the construction of many other new mega infrastructure projects will start. The E39 crossings in Norway will be well underway and lessons learned from all the projects will be shared at the conference.

We look forward to seeing you in Copenhagen in April 2022!

Yours sincerely,

Dansk Forening for Tunnel- og Undergrundsarbejder – DFTU
(Danish Society for Tunnels and Underground Works)

    @santiago, I can see that the domain name WTC2022.dk is already registered but parked. \

    Let's hope that the registration has been done the organizers of the WTC and they are just slow to switch over. The bad scenario is that it might have been hijacked by some people with the hope of selling it to organizers at profit.

    I assume this means Cancun is shifted to WTC2023.

    Does it still make sense to vote for WTC2024 (previously known as WTC2023) in January? Is it not better to postpone it for one year to give more time for new candidate cities to come up?
