Medical congresses are some of the most demanding events in the pharmaceutical calendar. Delegations have to arrive on time, stay close to the venue and move between sessions, meetings and dinners without losing focus. For the 62nd Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) at Allianz MiCo, the Milan Convention Centre, SET Travel designed and delivered a complete programme for a 90-person group. From hotel accommodation to daily congress logistics, we handled every part of the stay, so our client's team could concentrate on the scientific programme and their stakeholders.
Milan fills up quickly during EASD, so we secured hotel rooms early with convenient access to Allianz MiCo and planned transfers around the congress schedule. Beyond the congress itself, we created a social programme that let the group experience the best of the region. Guests discovered Milan's historic centre around the Duomo, enjoyed carefully selected restaurants, and spent a memorable day on a boat tour of Lake Como, passing its famous lakeside villas. Our team stayed in touch with the group throughout, adjusting plans and solving last-minute requests on the spot. For pharma companies, careful planning also means working within industry hospitality guidelines, and we build every programme with that in mind.
Every medical congress follows a similar rhythm: early arrivals, packed agendas and many moving parts. With one partner coordinating hotels, transfers, restaurants and group activities, you save time and avoid the stress of managing multiple suppliers. Whether you are sending a delegation to a congress in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Switzerland or elsewhere in Europe, SET Travel can plan it end to end at competitive prices.
