Palma: up and coming for global healthcare summits
Beyond corporate events, the Palma Convention Centre is already a frequent host to major international medical congresses, with many more on the horizon
📈 Palma is business-ready.
Thanks to excellent direct flight links with Europe's top cities, Palma continues to thrive as a key host for high-impact, large-scale events. The city's infrastructure and accessibility make it the perfect stage for industries looking to bring global professionals together.
The first half of 2026 began with two major international healthcare congresses choosing Palma for their flagship meetings.
In February, the 8th European CAR T-Cell Meeting, jointly organised by the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) and the European Hematology Association (EHA), brought together more than 1,000 delegates specialising in cellular therapies and haematology. Just two months later, TERMIS-EU 2026, the European Chapter Meeting of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS), welcomed more than 1,600 researchers, clinicians and industry representatives, achieving the highest attendance ever recorded for a European TERMIS meeting.
Each event demonstrates Palma's strict compliance with MedTech Europe standards, proving it is a reliable and approved host for medical education
The city, together with the excellent facilities of its convention centre and wide hotel offering, provides an ideal proposition for medical congresses in the autumn and winter seasons, when delegates can enjoy magnificent warm weather, far from the low temperatures of most European countries.
Attendees can use the efficient A1 urban transport service, which connects the airport and Centre in just 15 minutes.
Palma Convention Centre
The stylish and sustainable design of the Palma Convention Centre was conceived by architect Francisco Mangado, making the most of local materials such as the golden Marés sandstone that is such a feature of the beautiful island of Majorca. The Centre has a wave-inspired structure, offers lots of natural daylight in its event spaces and lovely views of this Balearic island’s spectacular coastline.
Managed by Melia Hotels International, the Centre’s adaptable spaces cater to events of all sizes. Its two state-of-the-art auditoria seat 1,966 and 471 delegates respectively and are supported by advanced audio-visual technology. These are complemented by a spacious 2,000 sqm exhibition area and versatile meeting rooms while a large terrace allows delegates to gather outdoors.
Directly connected via its third floor is the Meliá Palma Bay hotel, offering convenience and easy access for attendees. In addition, Meliá Hotels International offers nearly 1,000 rooms across the city with a single point of contact.
Picturesque Palma
Majorca’s beautiful capital city offers a wealth of cultural and leisure experiences. The historic Old Town, with its magnificent landmarks including Palma Cathedral and the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, invites visitors to explore. There are fabulous restaurants, bars and boutiques to discover in its narrow streets. Attendees can also simply relax on the city's lovely beaches.
Just 20 minutes from the city, the stunning Sierra de Tramuntana Mountains - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - offer breathtaking natural beauty, perfect for hiking, cycling and exploring its pretty villages.
