"Congress and meeting tourism is key to Madrid’s quality tourism model, generating over 5,238 million euros in economic impact in 2023," said Maíllo. "We are grateful to these ambassadors who continue to position Madrid as a premier global destination for conferences and events."

Among the honorees was Daniel Aníbal García Diego, President of the Spanish Federation of Hemophilia, who played a pivotal role in bringing the International Congress of the World Federation of Hemophilia to Madrid. Dr. Raúl Córdoba Mascuñano was also recognized for his work with the European Association of Hematology Congress, which welcomed 15,000 attendees and launched the impactful ‘Share Knowledge, Share Life’ blood donation campaign in partnership with the Red Cross.

UMusic Hotel Madrid, the first-ever UMusic Hotel, was honored to be the venue for this prestigious gathering, reinforcing its mission to celebrate culture, community, and global connections through music and hospitality. Opened in late 2022, the hotel restored the historic Teatro Albéniz, blending entertainment with immersive guest experiences.

As Madrid looks ahead to a dynamic 2025 conference calendar—including the European Society of Cardiology Congress, set to bring 26,000 delegates—UMusic Hotel Madrid remains committed to fostering meaningful experiences that unite tourism, culture, and sustainability.
