A Congress of the Workers' International, also widely and informally known as an InterCon, is a large, plenary meeting held by the Workers' International. Typically, they are organised annually, and hosted in different cities from year to year; figures and organisations with relevance to the socialist movement internationally are invited to attend, for the purpose of making statements, corresponding on policy, setting out tactics and such. The first Congress was held in 1901, at the founding of the Workers' International.
InterCon has great significance for the socialist parties and states of the world because of its wide ambit and prestigious history. While earlier in its history, it was often the scene of turbulent events, today it tends to be more organised, and controversial motions worked out beforehand. Negotiations which take place behind the scenes at InterCon, though not officially part of its proceedings, are also important; it is a convenient venue for such talks because of the wide range of simultaneous attendees.
