The PIARC Council was also able to confirm the progress made in the preparation of the next World Road Congress to be held in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), from 6 to 10 October 2019, as well as the next International Winter Road Congress, to be held in Calgary (Canada) from 8 to 11 February 2022.
Finally, the Council selected the candidature of the city of Prague (the Czech Republic) to organize the XXVIIth World Road Congress in October 2023.

As the Czech Republic’s First Delegate to PIARC, let me express firm intention and interest of the Czech Road Society and Prague to host the XXVII World Road Congress in the year 2023. The candidature of the Czech Republic is supported by Slovakia and the Slovak National Committee.

With all of the key requirements in one reconstructed building and just 5 minutes to the city centre using the complimentary public transport ticket, Prague provides a fantastically convenient solution for all WRC delegates.

We would like to invite you to the heart of Europe, the capital of the Czech Republic, and the City of 100 Spires – Prague. It would be a great honor for the Czech Road Society, r.c. and the National Committee of the Czech Republic AIPCR / PIARC to have the opportunity to welcome the participants of the XXVII World Road Congress to Prague in 2023.

Prague offers world-class services at a reasonable cost. Its hotels and other amenities, mostly built in the last decade, can accommodate more than 100,000 people and offer the highest standard of service.

The professional roadmen society was founded in 1934 under the title “Road Society”. After the World War II the society was incorporated into the Czechoslovak Scientific and Technical Societies Association (ČSVTS). The Road Society legal subjectivity was restored by the memorandum approved in 1990.

The Congress will be held in the Prague Congress Centre, a venue with easy access to many hotels in near vicinity. With the subway located within just 2 minute walking distance from the venue, the very heart of the city can be reached in a matter of minutes.
