Congress Management (PCO).
Precise planning and efficient organization are the alpha and omega of making your congress a success. Think in due time of the subleties of taxes and insurance. And the great art of not just staying within budget, but – if possible – effectively lowering costs. An experienced project manager will advise you, coordinating and organizing from start to finish.
We support professional associations, scientific organisations or public institutions. You can choose from full service organization or individual elements in a modular approach – whichever you take, you can look forward to custom solutions. It goes without saying that we assure peace of mind when it comes to planning, costs and quality.
