Event management
Our core competence lies in congress and event management, focussing on the fields of medical technology and pharmaceuticals.
Our event management portfolio comprises a wide variety of service components and is complemented by professional hotel procurement as an additional service (proposals for the convention hotel, selection of suitable function rooms, and block bookings).
The intelligent combination of harmonised services and long-standing industry expertise has been proven to generate synergies that benefit our clients.
Event services
With the development, production and logistics of event and congress materials, we also act as a one-stop shop for the full gamut of services.
We not only consider compliance with the client’s corporate design, but also adhere to industry-specific compliance guidelines and international regulations.
Interim project management
We provide our industry and methodology expertise whenever you need it, including for short-term project and event management assignments. We can even step in at short notice if required and provide you with fast, flexible and efficient support in the event of shortages – without the usual lengthy familiarisation period. Consequently, you benefit from maximum flexibility at all times and ensure your projects are managed professionally in line with national and international industry standards.
Medical education
We are able to handle the entire organisation and coordination of training events for the ongoing professional development of healthcare professionals (doctors, surgical staff, physiotherapists, etc.).
We have many years of experience when it comes to looking after delegates and speakers from around the world. We know what matters when working with a medical target audience, whether it is a question of travel planning and approvals or drafting contracts with speakers.
Alongside training events, we organise work shadowing – both at home and abroad – for medium-sized and large groups, not forgetting smaller groups (2–6 people).

Our profession
Since 2009, we have focused on the planning, organisation and follow-up of national and international congresses, workshops and training courses for medical professionals.
Having organised more than 300 client projects to date, we guarantee implementation that is on time and within budget. As a result, we are fully conversant with the idiosyncrasies of the industry, the international guidelines and the codes of conduct that form the basis of what constitutes “appropriate behaviour”.
All the employees involved in our projects are multilingual. In other words, they speak German, English and French at native or near-native level. This allows us to ensure global reach on your behalf and puts us in a position to organise meetings all over the world for our clients – which is something we do on a regular basis.
The focus of our activities lies in providing support to the European headquarters of market-leading companies, particularly in the field of medical technology. In geographical terms, we operate in Switzerland, Germany and the entire eastern European region.
Our clients place particular value on our intercultural expertise in the planning and organisation of projects. We are able to draw on a treasure trove of experience gained in projects in the Middle East, as well as central and eastern Europe.
We boast an in-depth knowledge of cultural issues, which is why we are able to make sure that your events run smoothly and that your attendees are completely satisfied.
