After an intense bidding process which began in March 2011, the Governing Board of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) announced their decision to name Congrex Switzerland its official PCO as of 2014.
"We strongly believe in Congrex’s capacity to deliver an outstanding service," commented Prof. Mark Thursz, Secretary General of EASL, "and also in their personal approach and dedication to create a strong and long-term partnership." With more than 8,000 clinicians, scientists and other delegates, the International Liver CongressTM is the most important conference in the field of Hepatology in Europe.
For Congrex, the partnership with EASL is a strong indication of its commitment to strategically support associations. Congrex brings to the table "more-than-30-years" experience and in-depth knowledge of organising major medical conferences which sets it apart as a key strategic partner.
"We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to manage the ILC 2014," announced Congrex Switzerland’s Regional Managing Director Alain Pittet. "We look forward to delivering on our promises, to EASL, to be an imaginative and caring association partner that understands the longer term strategic visions of EASL now and into the future."
