A major European congress centre has hailed the return of face-to-face meetings as it prepares to host a dozen congresses over the next four-and-a-half months.
Managers at IFEMA MADRID, in the Spanish capita, say they expect to welcome 20,000 delegates at the events, which are taking place between now and the begging of July.
In the coming months, the venue will host AEPap (24-26 March) with an event sponsored by the Spanish Association of Primary Care Paediatrics; the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (28 March-1 April); Expocida Iberia (6-8 April), the National Pest Management Association; SEFAC (5-7 May), the 10th National Pharmacy Congress; EFPA Congress ( 12-13 May), the ideal networking forum for the financial industry; Heart Failure Congress (21-25 May) of the European Society of Cardiology; EBC Congress (29 May 29-1 June), one of the most important brewing technical events in the world; the 83rd EAGE Conference & Exhibition (6-9 June), the largest and most comprehensive geoscience and engineering, and energy transition event in the world; Global Mobility Call (14-16 June) , a strategic conference to position Spain as the international hub for sustainable mobility; SERV (17-18 June), Congress of the Spanish Retina and Vitreous Society; World ATM Congress (21-23 June), the largest air navigation event, and CILAD (30-July 3 June), the Ibero Latin American Congress of Dermatology.
José Vicente de los Mozos, president of the Executive Committee of IFEMA MADRID, said: “Hosting a dozen major international conferences at our venue in the first six months of the year not only confirms the full recovery of the congress sector, but also the confidence of large operators, particularly the organisational capacity of IFEMA MADRID as the venue for most international congresses convened in 2022.
“This is also great news for Madrid and its prestige as the MICE destination of choice and for all the sectors that will benefit from holding major events with such significant economic repercussions in the city.”
The extensive line-up of congresses at IFEMA MADRID will stimulate the sector and facilitate face-to-face business experiences in excellent surroundings, and one of the most outstanding destinations in the international congress sector.
