Conference organization
We organize a conference from scratch regardless of your industry and region. After receiving a request for a conference, ​we identify the topics and design the program completely. In addition, we design and manage the sponsorship programs. We have successfully organized conferences both in Europe and America, bringing together companies, universities and authorities from North America, Australia, Europe and Latin America. Investing in a conference has a large impact on creating new projects in other regions and generating effective networking.
