Bioscientifica – ECE 2017
The 2017 Congress was another beacon in European Congress of Endocrinology’s journey of growth. For seven years, Bioscientifica has managed all aspects of this leading scientific and clinical event that brings together over 3,000 professionals who work in the field of hormones.
Each year the challenge of developing the event becomes harder. This year with a number of strategic objectives to deliver on, the event introduced a brand new identity for the Congress and the Society at large, a programme structure reflecting the Society’s strategic areas of focus and a complete online event solution to maximise reach, longevity and value to delegates.
Additional new programme content and networking opportunities for new members was introduced in response to delegate feedback from the previous event and further strengthened the delegate experience. Building corporate relationships and targeting new delegates by interest allowed
ECE 2017 to attract 3 new sponsors, 25% more abstract submissions and 13% more registered delegates than 2016 making it the largest Congress in its history. Continued financial success and overwhelmingly positive feedback from both the Society and delegates confirmed Bioscientifica had truly set a new benchmark for this event.
