THIS IS THE
EPP CONGRESS 2025
Valencia, Spain
29 and 30 April 2025
Welcome!
Listening. Leading.
For the people.
The 2025 EPP Congress in Valencia, co-hosted by our Spanish party Partido Popular, will serve as a defining moment of unity for our organisation—a moment when the EPP leadership will chart the course for the years ahead, guiding Europe’s future and tackling our collective challenges.
The Congress will offer a time for reflection, celebration of our past year, and inspiration, as we honor our past achievements and confront critical issues such as Russia’s war in Ukraine, the escalating cost of living, and the rising threats of populism and extremism
As we gather in Valencia, we are reminded of the resilience of the Spanish people in the face of adversity, especially in light of the recent floods in the region. In these challenging times, we stand in solidarity with those affected, and reaffirm our commitment to building a safer, more sustainable future for all.

In the vibrant city of Valencia, on Spain’s eastern coast, we find ourselves in a place rich with history, culture, and charm. Valencia has long been a crossroads of cultures, leaving behind a legacy of architectural wonders, timeless traditions, and a vibrant contemporary scene.
Our congress will revolve around stunning venues, each one celebrating the unique charm and vibrancy of Valencia. From the majestic Palacio de la Exposición, a symbol of the city’s historical significance, to the striking Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe, a modern marvel of architecture and innovation, the city will provide a dynamic setting for this important event.
We will also be gathering at the renowned Feria Valencia, located on the outskirts of the city (Avenida de las Ferias s/n. 46035 Valencia, Spain). This expansive venue, known for hosting large-scale international events, will offer ample space for discussions, exhibitions, and networking opportunities. These exceptional venues, ranging from the historical to the modern, capture the essence of Valencia—rich in tradition yet looking toward the future—reflecting the spirit of the EPP as we shape Europe’s path forward.
In this inspiring setting, the EPP will reaffirm its commitment to its values while looking forward to the future of both our organisation and Europe as a whole.
We look forward to your participation in shaping Europe’s future at the EPP Congress in Valencia!
