HEALTHCARE MEETINGS CONVERSATIONS

brought to you by
ICCA – IPCAA - IAPCO

Planning and conducting healthcare meetings have become increasingly complex as the impact of regulations, funding models, transparency, and time available for medical meetings have shifted focus for healthcare professionals as well as Medical Societies.

As if that weren’t enough, the global pandemic has forced most meetings online, presenting a whole new set of challenges and hurdles to overcome.

One of these challenges is the question about compliance regulations impact online meetings.

What are the implications on online and hybrid meetings in future when it comes to compliance regulations for venues, destinations, PCOs and ultimately the medical societies? These questions and more will be at the center of this series of Healthcare Meetings Conversations.

ICCA has again joined forces with IAPCO and IPCAA to bring to the ICCA Congress 2020 delegates a series of 20-minute, bite-sized sessions covering these and many new topics.

The pre-recorded sessions will culminate in a live Q&A session with the audience on 28 October at 14.00 CET. You can contribute to this session by sending your questions to the speakers through this SLIDO LINK.

The following sessions will be gradually uploaded to the Congress Broadcast Platform. You must be registered for the Congress to view each of the sessions as well as participate in the Live Q&A session.
